Maria and I is an emotionally edifying rarity in contemporary Spanish documentary. This humorous and uplifting film, based on the award-winning comic book of the same name, presents a heartwarming and amusing diary depicting the loving relationship between the comic artist and his autistic daughter. Maria and I is a profoundly moving and socially “invisible” case in an optimistic and sincere manner, thus defying narrow and clichéd views on autism and family relationships, without losing its warmth and candidness. The film has enjoyed enormous box-office success in Spain and was nominated for Best Documentary at the Spanish Goya Awards.
