The Visit and A Secret Garden

Little is known about the mysterious Isabel Santaló, a painter from the 1950s and 1960s who now lives in a small apartment in the outskirt of Madrid. Every once in a while, visitors drop by her house. Through them and the voice of Antonio López (El sol de membrillo, by Víctor Erice), the only painter from her generation that remembers her, a striking biography is drawn. A film about memory and oblivion, about art and the creative process, about what it means to be a woman and an artist.
