Gloria Repp
Bedtime? Story time! Gloria Repp’s earliest memories center on the stories her father told at bedtime. “What kind of story would you like tonight?” he’d ask, taking her onto his lap.

La primera generación que conoció los videojuegos y empezó a alimentarse de bollería industrial -adoraba el Tigretón-.
