ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A forced farewell. An unbreakable love. A destiny shaped by war.
Barcelona, 1937. In the midst of the chaos of the Spanish Civil War, Pere Roda makes a decision that will haunt him for the rest of his life: he sends his three daughters to Mexico, convinced that this will save them from hunger and war. Pere hides his decision from Celia, the girls' mother, knowing that she would prefer anything rather than being separated from them. The three sisters travel along with more than five hundred refugee children to the other side of the ocean, where they will face the cruel challenges of exile: separation from parents, loss of identity, and the constant fear of not knowing what the future holds. As the distance between the family grows and time advances, Pere disappears completely from Celia's life, and she, without knowing the truth, begins the tireless search for her daughters, always fearing the worst: that they have perished, victims of the bombings and the war.
La maletita azul (The Little Blue Suitcase) is a moving story about the unbreakable strength of a mother's love for her daughters and how this bond can defy time, distance, and the horrors of war.
