Manuela and Paca remember the 70s and 80s, marked by a civil society that mobilised strongly to change Spain, beyond political tendencies and ideologies. They relive from the first time they became class conscious, when they visited the suburbs of Madrid with the nuns from the school and saw the poverty, to the day when Paca created the first neighbourhood association in Spain, in the Madrid neighbourhood of Palomeras (now Vallecas). They highlight the importance of these neighbourhood associations, which led some of the most important social struggles of recent decades and are self-critical about the way in which they lost strength with the arrival of democracy. In addition, they focus on a problem for which they fought so hard and which still haunts the new generations today: housing. From her nights helping to build shacks in secret to the fight against real estate scams in the 1970s or the so-called 'clan of the auctioneers' in the 1990s.
