Event Details : Screening of the film 'Soldados de Salamina/The Soldiers of Salamina'.

Based on a best-seller book by Javier Cercas, The Soldiers of Salamina is the story of a novelist based in the city of Gerona who has abandoned her writing career and tracks down the details of a true story from the last days of the Spaish Civil War. The writer and falangist Rafael Sánchez Mazas faced a firing squad along with fifty other prisoners, but managed to escape into the woods. A Republican soldier, apparently one of those searching the area for the escaped prisoner found him but allowed him to escape. The novelist pieces together the fragments of the story plagued by contradictions and mysterious characters and comes to realise that her search for the truth is a personal quest of self-discovery.
