- DirectorMaría ElorzaA los libros y a las mujeres canto (To Books and Women I Sing) is titled after a cleverly rewritten quote from Virgil.

While there is much admiration in the director's gaze, this documentary is the opposite of the heroic-epic narratives so characteristic of a male-centred culture: the director wants to give voice to (and sing with) the kinds of characters and stories that often remain at the margins of literature and cinema - while paying homage to the earthiness of these spirited women.
