Watching: Barefoot Soledad

Overview

"Soledad descalza" (Barefoot Soledad) is a mix of a mockumentary (fake documentary) and narrative fiction that shows a one-year follow up in the life of Soledad Paramo, a woman who always goes barefoot everywhere on her own will. The fact that the protagonist, goes barefoot, is the starting point for a tragicomedy which also deals with other things such as modern art, artistic creation, social manipulation and the role of communication media and also be interpreted as a vision, sometimes satirical, of present-day Spanish society.
