In the 1990s there were more female-led films in Spanish cinemas than before. Four of those directors – Icíar Bollaín, Isabel Coixet, Judith Colell and Teresa de Pelegría – had not yet reached the age of 30 when they presented their first feature films and their vision of Spanish society and the situation of women’s lives. Icíar Bollaín is part of the group of directors who gave dynamism to the Spanish film sphere, which remains dominated by men (Pérez Millán 2003). In 1999, after his debut as an actress in South (1983) and his first feature film, Hola, are you alone? (1995) he finished his second film, Flores from another world, whose script had written with the writer Julio Llamazares. The inspiration for this film came from the news of the death of a Colombian woman, who had met her Spanish husband through a documentary from the Línea 900 programme, ‘Soltero and only in the countryside’.
