Decidió lanzar una campaña quijotesca para ser alcaldesa. ¿Qué pasa cuando alguien de afuera trata de ganar una elección en su provincia? ¿Y por qué Nélida está tan comprometida a cambiar un lugar que dejó cuando era niña?

And why is Nélida committed to trying to change the place she left as a young girl? Produced by: Daniel Alarcón and Caro Rolando
