ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THIS IS THE BOOK IN WHICH IC AR BOLLA N'S MOVIE I'M NEVENKA IS INSPIRED.

"This is the story of a sensible woman that, upon realizing that everything she had been told was a lie, went to court, denounced the facts, and turned everything upside down."

Almost twenty-five years ago, Nevenka Fern ndez, councilwoman at Hacienda de Ponferrada, resigned and accused the mayor, Ismael lvarez, of sexually harassing her. However, the courage to speak publicly about what she was quietly suffering didn't have the logical effect: justice ruled in her favor and the defendant was forced to resign from office, yes, but she was subjected to a parallel public and media scrutiny that forced her to leave the country.

Through interviews with the protagonist and a follow-up of the judicial process, in There Is Something That Isn't as They Say It Is, Juan Jos Mill s chronicles this true case--still current--of a fight against machismo, and investigates the mechanisms through which someone becomes a victim, but somehow manages to obtain the internal resources to escape this situation.
