Velintonia 3

Una quimera. Un símbolo. Un refugio creativo en tiempos oscuros. Un oasis de libertad. Velintonia, la casa del número 3, la morada de Vicente Aleixandre, clama por volver a ser lo que fue. Que vuelvan los poetas.

The memory of the poet Vicente Aleixandre remains silent at No. 3 Velintonia Street. Home of a Nobel Prize in Literature 1977, it also recalls the joy of Lorca and other members of Generation´27, the pain of civil war and post-war, and became a meeting point for most writers in 20th century Spanish Literature, now is abandoned and for sale. This documentary recreates its story and spirit.

Directed by Javier Vila
