On the morning of Sunday, August 30, 2026, the streets of Mexico City were filled with anonymous human stories during a marathon event, highlighted by participants such as a 68-year-old man running his fifteenth marathon despite ailing knees and a visually impaired woman. The event reflects the legacy of Sandalio Sainz de la Manzana, recognized as the man who built sport as it is known in the capital.

Simultaneously, in Alfafar, Valencia, preparations and discussions surrounded the romantic comedy 'Libre', which uses the musical universe and the song 'Libre' by iconic Spanish singer Nino Bravo (1944-1973) as a framework for a story of personal growth and tenderness rather than serving as a traditional biographical documentary.
