Ispansi!

Based on a true story. As the Spanish Civil War was drawing to a close, the Republic sent 3,000 children to Russia, along with nurses, doctors, teachers, and others to care for them. From the beginning, the relationship between the “Ispansi” (Russian for Spaniards) and their somewhat reluctant hosts was difficult. But after Hitler’s invasion, both hosts and guests found themselves struggling together to survive. (Morelia International Film Festival)
