Story
Buried memories of the Spanish Civil War surface when a woman searches for the remains of her paternal grandfather and learns the story of a young, idealistic schoolteacher from Tarragona. NanaWritten by Manuel de Falla. It’s too hard for me to add anything else to the 1,717 entries that have done this so well. His thoughts are mine. I watched this film today at the Sydney New Palace complex with less than 10 people! It was hard to keep my eyes dry from the sadness, but also the joy of watching such a work. Oh, I need twice as many characters! Being a French kid, I spoke pretty good Spanish, so I also liked the language, which wasn’t too fast and was clear enough that I could understand it a little without reading the subtitles! So if “you” are also learning Spanish, this might be another reason to watch this beautiful story, which I understand is also a true story.
