We discovered Felicidad Blanc in The Disenchantment, Jaime Chávarri's film, where we were fascinated by those person-characters, the Paneros: Felicidad, Juan Luis, Leopoldo María, Michi. If we can say that, thanks to the Paneros' creative imagination, Disenchantment is more than cinéma vérité, Mirror of Shadows is also more than a memory book. It is the testimony of someone who, trying to recover his past, feels that what memory returns to him are beings and moments transmuted into shadows in a mirror. This awareness of the impossibility of re-creating what was lived gives the Happiness Blanc book a special significance.
