JOSEP

February 1939. Overwhelmed by the flood of Republicans fleeing Franco’s dictatorship, the French government’s only solution is to confine the Spaniards in concentration camps where the refugees have no choice but to build their own shacks, feed on the horses that carried them out of their country, and where many die through a lack of hygiene and water…
In one of these camps, two men separated by barbed wire become friends. One is a police officer and the other is Josep Bartoli (Barcelona 1910 – New York 1995), an illustrator who fights against Franco’s regime.
