During the Spanish civil war, more than thirty thousand children were evacuated to Belgium, Russia, Mexico, France and England. These uprooted children are Los Niños de la guerra, left on their own far from home and so quickly forgotten. It’s a documentary film made like a journey, which awakes the demons of the past. A trip that leads to impressions where both individual and collective memories are constructed under our very eyes, in order to help us build bridges between the past and the present.
