La Durmiente

Synopsis

“La Durmiente” explores the story of the medieval Infanta Beatriz of Portugal through fabulation and children’s imagination. Entirely shot at the Monastery of Sancti Spiritus in Toro, a space once inhabited by Beatriz and where her tomb lies, these children stage and interpret fragments of the life of this character erased by history, yet preponderant in the Portuguese dynastic crisis of 1383.
