Alberto Olmos in conversation with Marta Medina

Where does the expression tía buena come from? What makes a hottie hot? What exactly is sexy? Why does a woman's success still largely depend on her looks, even in this day and age? How does feminism deal with the sociocultural aspiration of beauty? Is beauty a gift or can it sometimes be a curse?

Columnist and writer Alberto Olmos, author of the essay Tía Buena and film critic an editor of El Confidencial Marta Medina discuss the evolution of the relationship women have with men, with their bodies, and with the marketplace. Because ever since women's bodies were first used to sell products, there has been a constant and often unhealthy capitalisation of the female physique. Cinema and advertising have turned this business of looks into one of the most successful profitmaking phenomena of all time.

There will be a book signing at the end of the event.
