Mi 69
With his characteristic grace and candor, Trueba retraces the paths of his own sentimental education and, in doing so, offers a vivid portrait of a time and a generation.
David Trueba invites us into 1969, the year of his birth and a “defining symbol of all contradictions.” From the threshold of life, still nestled in his mother’s womb, he evokes the world awaiting him: the bustle of an enormous family, the upheaval of working-class neighborhoods in transformation, and the distant echoes of a Spain nearing the end of its dictatorship. Beyond those borders, new voices in film, literature, and music begin to resound—forces that will leave their mark on his destiny.
