Trailer Synopsis Cast

Between 1937 and 1938, during the Spanish Civil War, thousands of minors were evacuated by their own families from the Republican zone to the Soviet Union to prevent them from perishing in the indiscriminate bombings that the rebel army directed against the civilian population. Taking advantage of the 80th anniversary of this epic, a team went to Russia to record the testimonies of some of those “childrens of war.”

The Colegio de Arquitectos de Catalunya commissioned Pere Portabella to make this film for the Joan Miró retrospective exhibit in 1969. There were heated discussions on whether it would be prudent to screen the film during the exhibit. Portabella took the following stance: "either both films are screened or they don't screen any" and, finally, both Miro l'Altre and Aidez l'Espagne were shown. The film was made by combining newsreels and film material from the Spanish Civil War with prints by Miró from the series "Barcelona" (1939-1944). The film ends with the painter's "pochoir" known as Aidez l'Espagne.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
