Synopsis

Carmen Ibarra, at 85 years old, still plays tennis every day. She was a national champion for 14 years, a South American champion for four, and currently champion in the +80 category. Despite her achievements, she has never been recognized like her male counterparts. Carmencita, my grandmother, is a champion who deserves to be remembered in Chile’s history.
