[DOCUMENTAL] La memoria interior/ The inner memory 32 min by María Ruido. Spain 2002

An investigation into the construction of memory and the mechanisms by which history is produced, and a trip to Germany in late 2000 are at the heart of this documentary. The filmmaker explores her family history in order to delve into the memory of migration, into how identity is constructed around gaps and the experiences of others, around remembering and forgetting.
