Synopsis

'Las cartas perdidas' is an emotional fictionalized documentary that rescues the memory of women who were either exiled or imprisoned during the Civil War, through their letters. It is a tribute to all those victims who suffered a double repression during Franco's regime for being women and republicans.

Each actress represents the story behind a letter, located either in the exact location where they occurred, from women's prisons to concentration camps for women in France, or in symbolic spaces, such as the Almudena Cemetery.

It is created by Amparo Climent, and narrated by singer and actress Ana Belén, accompanied by the songs of great musicians such as Rozalén, Lourdes Pastor or Gloria Vega, among many others.

The cast includes actresses such as Marisa Paredes, Alba Torres, Julieta Serrano, Luisa Gavasa, Tina Sainz, Nora Navas, Rosana Pastor, María Isasi, Ana Gracia, Gloria Vega, Karmele Aramburu, Teresa del Olmo, Chupi Llorente, Resu Morales, Amparo Climent, Natalia Huarte, Miriam Tejedor, Sara Rivas, África de la Cruz, and Teresa Rodríguez.

'Las cartas perdidas' received the Silver Biznaga in the "Affirming Women's Rights" section of the Malaga Film Festival, as well as the "Specially recommended for the promotion of gender equality" award from the Spanish Ministry of Culture.
