Synopsis
A woman fights a losing battle: one can't be poor and still want to stay among the familiar, the everyday . . . where one was born and raised, only to watch with a mixture of confusion and rage her surroundings become deserted, bleak places, that just rear children that disperse to faraway, ugly cities. Told with great lyricism, Nadie Especial is about anyplace where the cards will always seem to be stacked against the powerless and about their stubborn resistance to avoid an inevitable fate . . . perhaps in anticipation that one can never really free himself from that which molds you, nor can one ever get rid of the nostalgia that distance inexorably creates.
