Plot
A feminine presence leads us through the important events in María Moliner's life, highlighting the terms that define and draw them, and the definitions that María offers in her own dictionary, so that it is a narrative told through her own words, highlighting the strong imprint that María's personality has on her masterpiece: the Diccionario de Uso del Español (Dictionary of Spanish Usage).
Personalities from the world of culture, literature, history, education, philology and archives guide us along the path of this passionate life dedicated to the vocation and love of language as an instrument of communication and understanding of others, of the world and of ourselves.
His deepest intellectual interest, words and their definitions, are the narrative and poetic vehicle of this document: words that build bridges.
