Q&A with director Alberto Morais after the December 11 show!
A journey into the dark recesses of Spain’s past in the form of a contemporary road movie, Alberto Morais’s second film charts the journey of an 80-year-old widower, Miguel, from his home in Valencia to the French town of Argelès-sur-Mer, close to the Spanish border, where he spent time as a refugee in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War almost 60 years earlier. Winner of both the Grand prize and the Critics’ Prize at this year’s Moscow International Film Festival.
