Synopsis
Buried memories of the Spanish Civil War are revealed as a woman searches for the remains of her grandfather’s father and discovers the story of an idealistic young teacher from Tarragona. Nana, Composed by Manuel de Falla. It’s too hard for me to add anything else to emit1717’s entry, which did an excellent job. His thoughts are also my own. I watched this film today at the new palace complex in Sydney with a crowd of less than 10 people! It was hard to keep my eyes dry due to the sadness, but also the joy of witnessing such a work. Oh, I need twice as many characters! As a French child I was quite good at Spanish, as such I also liked the language, which was not too fast and clear enough that I could understand a bit of it without reading the subtitles! So if ‘you’re also learning Spanish, that might be one more reason to see this beautiful story, which I understand is also a true story.
