The Teresines, the best neighbors you could ever find, have decided to tell everyone their story, from the time their parents met, to their last orders, because they continue to work in the underground economy .
"We have a lot of work, so much, that we don't finish it," declares Teresina, the character who played Mercè Comes in the legendary TV3 series that, with only 13 episodes, managed to create a collective imagination.
All of this takes place at the Ona bookshop, on Carrer Pau Claris in Barcelona, where the room of the three Gràcia sisters has been recreated and the book Vida de Teresina (Rose of the Winds) is presented. The volume bears the subtitle: "Authorized biography of the Teresines".
The real authors are the director of La Cubana, Jordi Milán, and Pol Vinyes, but Maria Teresa, the character of Mont Plans, says that it was a black man who wrote it based on what they explained. “Not a real black, no. His name is Josep Miquel Negre and Escribà”, says Maria Teresa, in another great product of the Cuban imagination. “This guy was at home all day chasing us. And he was looking at us, huh? He was watching us!”
Teresina reveals: "Everything we say in the book is true, but not the whole truth", she assures that they explain some interiority and that the chapter that cost them the most is that of the Barefooted Carmelites: "It's just that we had to go long ago", points out Maria Teresa.
The Teresinas arrived late for the presentation, because they needed a doctor. "When you go to the doctor, you know when you enter, but not when you will leave", declares Maria Teresa. And what makes them most excited about this book, between order and order, is signing it for Sant Jordi.
