DESCRIPTION:Maragatería: one cor (e) ography is an odeto the region of Ma
 ragatería (León\, Spain). The documentaryseeks to uncover the region to 
 explore the different ways of life of its heterogeneous population\, chall
 enging traditional argument and narrative structures. Far from a tradition
 al view of the land and their customs\,the documentary is situated at the 
 intersection between the different socialgroups who inhabit the region now
 adays. From thelocal peasants\, grown in a decaying preindustrial world\, 
 to the hippies and eco-rurals who repopulateabandoned villages\, the vario
 us characters that occupy abandoned enclavesin the Camino de Santiago to h
 elp pilgrims\, and urban dwellers returning to the rural in search of thei
 r roots and contact with nature\, or the immigrants who came to this perip
 heral and poor area in search of a better life. The complex entanglements 
 that occur here make foreigners adapt maragatotraditions\, while northern 
 European hippies see local peasants’ ways of life as the ideal they were
  looking for. Similarly\, pilgrims from all over the world are enchanted b
 y the beauty of the area and the relaxing character of its peoples\, many 
 of them settling down around and starting different life projects in commu
 nity. The film tells the story of this extravagant and mysterious area and
  its peoples\, in a mixture of science\, comedy and experimental art.\n\n
