"The Constituent" in the words of its director, "tells a fascinating part of the history of women's political participation in Spain, and analyzes the current situation through a shot at the Senate meeting between deputies and current policies with some women constituents. "The documentary provides an analysis, based on personal experience of these policies, on the facts that constitute one of the most interesting stages of the parliamentary system of our country: that of the Constituent Cortes in the period 1977-1979, and does so from the perspective of women. This is a necessary look on the Spanish transition.
