Maite García Ribot : 2015
Letters to María
As a result of her father's Alzheimer's disease, Maite decides to recover the unknown and silenced story of her grandfather Pedro. In 1939, the Republican Pedro had to go into exile in France, leaving behind his wife María and their two sons. In order to survive the harsh living conditions in the refugee camps in the South of France he had to work for the French government and even for the Nazi army. Pedro died in an allied bombing in Bordeaux. Through forty-six letters that Pedro wrote to María from exile, Maite will discover and imagine this unique and epic family story. Maite García Ribot's documentary screened in competition at Crossing Europe Filmfestival Linz 2015.
