En la pell de l'altre
In the Other's Hair follows the lives of two young women from the first months of 1971 to the present day. On the one hand is Ramona Marquès, abandoned by a revolutionary who disappeared from her life, leaving her pregnant. On the other is Mireia Ferrer – daughter of the man who fights for the memory of deportees and founder of the association Memory and Freedom, Tomàs Ferrer – who marries Manuel, an infiltrator from the national police, from whom she has to hide to avoid scenes of domestic violence But Ramona is not content with her lot as a single mother without family in those years and decides to falsify her mother's story and create a file in the archives of the association, identifying her as a deportee, so constructing an entire life based on lies.
