The volunteer

Marisa is a retiree who feels lonely and needs to feel useful. With some children who do not pay much attention to her and some friends with whom she does not share many hobbies, Marisa entrusts herself to a Greek refugee camp to give all the love that remains inside her. There, she finds that they need the help she can offer, but finds that things are not as expected. You will clash with the charity system and the team that tells you what you should and should not do. However, he will meet Ahmed, a refugee boy who will make him explore the limits between altruistic help and the need to feel useful. The film is directed by Nely Reguera and the cast is made up of Carmen Machi, Itsaso Arana, Dèlia Brufau, Arnau Comas, Yohan Lévy and Henrietta Rauth. It is a co-production between Spain and Greece in which Fasten Films, RTVE, Movistar+ and TV3 have collaborated. In Spain, the distribution is handled by BTeam Pictures. He participated in the official section of the 25th anniversary of the Malaga Film Festival. In the words of its director, it addresses the complexity implicit in the act and the desire to love and care. Taking care of each other is a task that unites us, helps us grow, humanizes us. The problem comes when we are not aware that, sometimes, this act responds more to the need to fill a void or make up for a lack than to an act of generosity.
