A fascinating and harrowing story of exploitation, machismo, official lies, criminal negligence, and prejudice.

In 1977, the body of María Isabel Gutiérrez Velasco was found burned in a cell at Basauri prison (Bizkaia). Her fellow inmates did not believe the official version, and those days they declared a sex workers' strike in Bilbao. Alongside other political groups, they organized protests and sit-ins to demand amnesty for social prisoners and the repeal of Francoist laws that especially affected the underclass.

But who was María Isabel? Journalist Andrea Momoito, co-founder of Pikara Magazine, embarks in Lunática on an original, passionate, sometimes chaotic, streetwise, marginal, intuitive, detective-like, desperate, and torrential search. A raw and tender portrait of society’s margins, and a sharp, systematic denunciation of the mechanisms of repression.
