Synopsis:

A chronicle of how Spanish cinema has portrayed the evolution of women-from the 1930s to present day, via film fragments from 180 movies-simultaneously revisiting the history of the country.

Co-produced by Pedro Almodóvar's production company El Deseo and veteran Spanish producer Enrique Cerezo, this illuminating survey was put together by Diego Galán, a noted Spanish film critic and former director of San Sebastian Film Festival. Reflecting changes in the political sphere, Barefoot in the Kitchen chronicles how Spanish cinema has portrayed the evolution of women from the 1930s to the present day, using film fragments from 180 movies. Galán demonstrates how landmarks in the recent history of Spain can be directly indicated by shifts in social mores in cinema. By the time of All About My Mother (1990), women had turned the tables on men and on cinematic sexism, present since the early days of the talkies.

Diego Galan's documentary offers only the most superficial glimpse at trends in post-1930 Spanish cinema.
