Pepi Fandango

German / Spanish / English / French - OV with English subtitles

Vienna-based Sephardic and Holocaust survivor Peter Perez loves the flamenco genre of fandango, which he learnt in the French Rivesaltes camp from Roma children who were also interned there. In Spain, Perez wants to compose a fandango himself, but the traumas of his childhood leave him no peace. So he decides to travel to Rivesaltes for the first time since his childhood. Stojević unobtrusively observes her agile protagonist, for whom the journey becomes an almost cathartic experience, and gives him space to unfold. A documentary road movie that sheds light on both an individual fate and a rather unknown chapter of the Second World War. (Oliver Stangl)
