In honor of Women's History Month, on "My Life in Films" we have the immense pleasure of welcoming Marta Etura, an essential figure in Spanish cinema. With a solid, versatile, and widely acclaimed career, Marta has established herself as one of the most brilliant actresses of her generation.

Winner of the Goya Award for Best Supporting Actress for "Cell 211" (2010), as well as numerous nominations at awards such as the Feroz, Gaudí, and CEC, and international accolades like the EFP Shooting Star at the Berlin Film Festival, her latest project is filming "Hugo 24," the highly anticipated second feature film by Luc Knowles ("Dragonflies").
