The Magicians

In a Catalan orphanage during the Spanish Civil War, an amateur filmmaker shot a film of exotic adventures in which the pupils of the orphanage were the actors. Seventy years later, a group of film directors, among them the daughter of one of the orphanage pupils, goes back to the same place to talk with the survivors and to re-create the same surroundings in order to recover the lost memories of a lost past.
