Written in Spanish, this book explores the relationship between dramatic texts and their cinematic adaptations. It examines the transposition of form and ideology in film versions of 20th-century plays by writers such as Carlos Arniches, Federico Garcia Lorca and Antonio Buero Vallejo.

Drawing on feminist psychoanalysis and Greek mythology, La madre muerta explores how matricide and unconscious matricidal fantasies have been portrayed in Spanish narrative, drama, and film. The book examines individual and social perceptions regarding gendered subjectivity, the operation of power relations, gender violence, and the economies of desire.
