Los caminos de Rut

The young Rutona tries to reconstruct the life of her mother Rut with whom she shared a life that was both free and intense. Rut drove a tow-truck on the Catalan highways through the seventies, eighties, nineties and noughties. It was man's work done by an extraordinary woman, lover of freedom and of her own feelings. Rut's life is defined by her desire not to be tamed and by her romantic attachments which take place within a contradiction: having to avoid ever saying the phrase "I love you" because it implies that at some point, sooner or later, you'll end up saying: "I don't love you". For Rutona, her mother is not just a reference point but also the counterpoint that enables her to find her own way.
