"Where do you call home?" was the question faced by nearly 3,000 Spanish children exiled in the Soviet Union during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). This film tells the story of one of them, Angelita Perez, who lived in Russian boarding schools from ages 4 to 24 until completing her medical studies in Moscow. It is a tale of resilience, love, and identity, intertwining past and present, history and memory. It also explores the bond between a mother and daughter - the director and her mother - through shared songs and stories. Revisiting Angelita's journey is both a tribute to her strength and a declaration of love. —Thessaloniki Documentary Festival
