Description
A filmmaker uncovers the letters her grandmother wrote to her Czechoslovak lover, who was imprisoned in a detention camp in southern France after the Spanish Civil War. From Sweden’s coastal landscapes and at a distance from her home in Spain, the filmmaker reflects on her grandmother’s love story to approach a highly political period of Spanish history, one that remains unresolved and that many prefer to forget. Past and present intersect as the lover’s descriptions of southern France in the letters resonate within the Swedish landscape, weaving together memory, exile, and place.
