DESCRIPTION

At the end of the Spanish Civil War, two hospital ships stand off Marseille shores hosting hundreds of wounded people coming from the frontline searching for refuge in France. Three hundred letters were sent to those people, but they would never be delivered. They will be later found, decades after, in an archive in Bouches-du-Rhône (France). Drawing inspiration from these precious documents, the two filmmakers shot an original animated documentary using stop-motion and one of the simplest materials: water.


Alla fine della Guerra Civile Spagnola, a largo di Marsiglia stazionano due navi ospedale cariche di centinaia di feriti provenienti dal fronte e rifugiatisi in Francia. A loro furono indirizzate 300 lettere mai recapitate dalle autorità e poi rinvenute, decine di anni più tardi, negli archivi di Bouches-du-Rhône (Francia). Intorno a questi documenti Julian Telle e Renaud Perrin costruiscono un documentario d’animazione in stop-motion usando con originalità uno dei materiali più comuni: l’acqua.
