Synopsis
The assembly has the testimony of 14 of the 27 parliamentarians who participated in the Constituent Legislature, because some of them have not been able to participate and seven of them have already died; among them the civil war hero Dolores Ibarruri. In their discussions they remember the reasons why they entered politics and analyze the evolution of the situation of women in Spain.
According to critics, "one of the most powerful moments of the documentary is a meeting between these veterans and a group of active politicians of different political parties such as former minister Carmen Alborch, Carmen Calvo or Bibiana Ado, deputy of the Canary Coalition, Ana Oramas, the deputy of the PP Sara Dueas, the member of the General Council of the Judiciary Margarita Ura, Montserrat Surroca of CiU or Ins Sabans de IU ".[https://cadenaser.com/programa/2012/12/05/la_script/1354666631_850215.html 'Las constituyentes', las madres de la Constitucin reivindican la igualdad]
