El alemán de la tienda de fotos, Luis Pérez Bordoy (Spain, 2022)
Esporles. June 1940. The day the Foto Esporlas laboratory closed its doors for good, Francesca “Rosseta” could not suspect that she would never see her neighbor, the photographer Leo Israel Frischer, again.
Leo was part of the large group of European Jews who, fleeing Nazism, arrived in Mallorca during the 1930s. Although they were able to enjoy a relative tranquillity at the beginning, in June 1940, most of them received an order of expulsion from the country. These people, stripped of their nationality, without papers and in many cases without economic resources, will have to flee to “nowhere,” crossing a Europe at war.
Presentation and Q&A by director and screenwriter Juan Pérez Bordoy. Film will be screened in original version (Catalan).
A film in the 2023 edition of the Barcelona Jewish Film Festival.
