Spanish and Portuguese Professor Daniel Da Silva hosted a fantastic "lunch and movie" event on April 29th to watch and discuss the though-provoking film ¿DE QUÉ CASA ERES? He was joined by the film's director Ana Pérez-Quiroga.
“¿De qué casa eres? (Which house are you from?)” asks the question that was shared by almost 3,000 Spanish children exiled to the Soviet Union during the Spanish Civil War, where Angelita Pérez spent twenty years in Russian boarding schools. She became a doctor in Moscow, a wife in Spain, and a mother in Portugal. This film is the director’s declaration of love to her mother, and a story of exile, return, memory, and identity.
Congratulations Prof. Da Silva and Daiane Tamanha for organizing this fantastic event!
