The inspiring story of one woman's tireless struggle to change the course of a stunted society. She will not allow her past to be used in negotiations. 'La maestra republicana' is the thrilling story of a woman who fought to preserve the dignity of her own past and which gives us a glimpse into the impenetrable world of Eton College and the almost unknown 'Residencia de Señoritas' [young ladies' residence], the female version of the 'Residencia de Estudiantes.' Her story and that of the characters she mixes with is also a metaphor for our time, of the political corruption and social desperation in which we live, and of how one plucky soul was able to put them in check at the same time as recovering almost forgotten values such as honesty and justice.
