La Graciosa - Kanarische Träume

Summary

La Graciosa – Canarian Dreams

The film directors have known La Graciosa, now officially recognized as the eighth island of the Canaries, since 1994. Who could have guessed at the time what dramatic changes the people of La Graciosa would experience over the next three decades? 

"La Graciosa is a unique microcosm. The protagonists of the film are the diverse inhabitants of the village, with whom we have built up a relationship of trust over the years. They shed light on important current social issues: gender equality, the importance of local self-government, the protection of nature and the environment, the development of alternative forms of ecologically compatible tourism, questions of social coexistence, respect for the life achievements of the older generation, and the loss of traditions."
