Memorias, norias y fábricas de lejía
Synopsis
Happy images from home movies are confronted with the off-camera conversation between two women who emigrated from Andalucía to Barcelona in the seventies, people who couldn't film or keep their own images at that time. Giving images to the accounts of both immigrants, María Zafra reclaims the importance of their experiences and gives them visibility. An essay on migration, memory and the lack of accessibility to self-representation.
