The movie premiere was followed by a Q&A with the director Luciana Murujosa.

Synopsis of the movie:

The Nazi threat expelled actress Hedy Crilla from Europe. In 1940 she arrived in Argentina where, without being able to perform because of her strong accent, she was a teacher for over 40 years. She made a revolution by introducing the Stanislavski Method, making the acting style go from declamation to a live actor on stage.

She formed lots of actors, directors, and teachers who spread her legacy, changing the History of Ibero-American theater. Nevertheless, this task has been forgotten. This documentary rescues her figure and her fundamental work: the actors' mentor, the mentor of mentors.
