Ispansi! (2010)
ISPANSI is the story of Paula and Alvaro, a woman and a man belonging to opposed social and ideological classes. Fortunes of life have brought them both in the USSR to accompany those exilees who are called in Spain the “War children” (Los niños de la guerra), 30,000 children sent abroad in 1937-38 by the Republican government (3,000 to the Soviet Union) to spare them Franco’s bombings during the Civil War.
The film shows the odyssey of one of those groups of children and accompanying adults, since the German invasion of Russia in 1941. They flee north from Stalingrad and spend the harsh winter in a village of the Volga German Republic, before hunger forces them out again, and walk to the Ural Mountains.
Though they are both losers in the face of History and ideology, Alvaro and Paula will get closer during this terrible journey, and grow a love cleared of political hatred.

    Love is above ideologies
    Carlos Iglesias had a brilliant debut with "Un franco 14 pesetas". Now back with a story of another time. It is nothing less than the Spanish Civil War and tells us the case of children who were Russia pulled out of the country to search out a better future. In Russia 1941 would find the Second World War. In this group Spanish children were adults as well as tutors. The story beyond telling the adventures, adventures and misadventures of this group of people ravaged by cold and hunger, delves into the relationships human, to show a story of love between persons of bands irreconbiliables presumed. The whole adventure is epic and entertaining. The less positive is the true seriousness of the narrator in his narrative moments in which overreact and actresses difficult it is for churches and almost everyone who is address the issue without falling, as in Manichaeism. All modes is a rarity in Spanish cinema. The boldness and originality of the proposal should be of recognized Carlos Iglesias.
