María Zaragoza has been nominated for the Goya for her first film script, Divine Accounts. The writer published her first book when she was only 17 years old.

She has won literary awards such as the Azorín or the Ateneo Joven of Seville. “The first thing a writer has to learn is to lie”, says the 41-year-old La Mancha-born author. She says there is a worrying lack of normalization in death in her novels.
