Píše sa rok 1845 a zo šiestich súrodencov sa dožili plnoletosti len Charlotte, Emily, Anne a ich brat Branwell. Spoločne s otcom strácajúcim zrak a nezodpovedným opileckým bratom žijú na fare v Haworthe, grófstve Yorkshireu. Najprv píšu básne, ale verejnosť začína dávať prednosť novelám. Všetky tri sestry sa teda púšťajú do písania románov voľne založených na vlastných skúsenostiach, či už sa jedná o príbeh z rozprávania (Búrlivé výšiny), o spomienky na dievčenské školu (Jana Eyrová) alebo o skúsenostiach zaobchádzaní s vychovávateľkami (Agnés Greyová). Aby mali možnosť publikovať, používajú pseudonymy, v ktorých zachovali len svoje iniciály - Ellis (Emily), Acton (Anne) a Currer (Charlotte) Bellovi.

"The palm trees on the reverse are a delusion; so is the pink sand". This line, taken from a poem by Margaret Atwood, lights the path traced in "Postcard". As the years go by, landscapes transform, take on new meanings, and hold onto joys that will never be regained. The sea and the beach, once stages of happy summers, romances, and encounters, will turn into concentration camps or centers of detention and torture. This occurs across different times and places. In this piece, I embark on a journey through some of my works that explore the relationship between testimony, spaces, and time, engaging in dialogue with the beautiful film directed by Alejandro Segovia in 1972.
