The elder María Martín lost her mother when she was murdered by the Franko regime and she is one the 100.000 Spaniards in mass graves. Now, one whole lifetime later, María and many other Spaniards are seeking justice for Franco's victims, but Spanish law stands in their way. Directors Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar with producer Pedro Almodóvar try to give voice to the demands of their fellow citizens.

Wednesday 30 October

“Children Below Deck” | Bettina Henkel, Austria, 2018, 90’

BEST SOCIO-POLITICAL DOCUMENTARY “Beyond Borders” 2019

The film tells the story of three generations: the (late) grandmother, the father and the daughter, who directs. The central theme is the transfer of the traumatic experience from generation to generation and illustrates the apparent influence that the historical changes of north-east Europe have had on the protagonist's psyche.
