Once Upon a Time in Quito

This documentary is a journey through time, a reconstruction of that cinematic memory through testimonies, vestiges, and memories.

Driven by a volcanic personality and iron discipline inherited from classical dance, she has constantly reinvented herself, from the girl next door to the eccentric old lady she plays on screen today, proving at 91 that there is a place for actresses of all ages. A refreshing portrait featuring film clips and archival footage, particularly those in which this talk show regular exercises her sharp wit.
