Synopsis "Para Español, Pulse 2 (in Spanish)"

Las andanzas de Sara, una española con una beca de estudios de  posgrado en Nueva York, que aspira a convertirse en escritora y salir de la precariedad laboral.«Antes de que amanezca Sara sale del edificio Cherokee. Cruza la acera y  desfila, recogiéndose el pelo con su pañuelo, hermanada no solo con su  compañera de piso sino con todos los inmigrantes que tratan de  aprovechar valientemente las bondades de Estados Unidos, de arañar lo  que se pueda, de obtener algún beneficio compensatorio a cambio de tanta  supremacía.  Abre el portal de su casa, sube los seis pisos y llega a su  apartamento. Su capacidad de conquista le parece ilimitada.»En 2012, Sara consigue una modesta beca para cursar un Máster de  escritura creativa en una prestigiosa universidad neoyorquina. Sus  compañeros son latinoamericanos y ella es la única española. Sus días en  Nueva York transcurren entre esfuerzos por llevar un tren de vida digno  e intentos de publicar el libro que escribirá durante el máster.  Sin  otro mérito que su beca, Sara pasa de ser una administrativa en Madrid a  formar parte de la élite cultural hispana que se está constituyendo en Nueva York.Para español, pulse 2 muestra la experiencia de la subalternidad  con suerte, la de los cerebros que han conseguido fugarse, la del hispanismo privilegiado en Estados Unidos. Sara descubrirá que, igual que la religión que profesa su padre, la  literatura es, en cierto modo, una doctrina sustentada por una serie de  instituciones, un sistema de prestigios y, sobre todo, un dogma de fe.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe adventures of Sara, a Spaniard with a post-graduate scholarship in New York, who aspires to be a writer and get some job security.“Before dawn, Sara leaves the Cherokee building. She crosses the sidewalk and marches on, pulling back her hair with her scarf, linked not only to her roommate but also to all immigrants who bravely try to take advantage of all that the United States has to offer, to scrape together what she can, to get some compensatory benefit in exchange for so much supremacy. She opens the door and goes up the six flights of stairs to her apartment. Her ability to take on anything seems unlimited.”In 2012, Sara earns a modest scholarship to study creative writing in a prestigious New York university. Her friends are Latin American and she is the only Spaniard. Her days in New York are spent trying to live a decent life while attempting to finish her book.With just her scholarship to her name, Sara goes from being an office worker in Madrid to form part of the Hispanic cultural elite that is establishing itself in New York. She will discover that, just like the religion that her father professes, literature is a doctrine based on a series of institutions, a system of prestige, and above all, a dogma of faith.
