El club de la memoria

Working on old newsreels at the national film archive, a young restorer finds a creased photograph of a group from the Misiones Pedagógicas, the Second Republic's campaign to carry culture to rural Spain. On its back: the Memory Club, Ávila, 1932. She cannot forget their faces, and follows their journals, correspondence and recollections across Europe. As she learns how the war and exile scattered them, with all their romances, dreams, deceptions and treachery, her own life becomes entangled with theirs.
