Overview
June 1940 marked the closure of “Foto Esporles” and the end of Francesca “Rosseta”’s contact with her neighbor, photographer Leo Israel Frischer. Leo, a European Jew fleeing Nazism, arrived in Mallorca in the 1930s. By June 1940, he and many others faced expulsion from Spain. Stripped of nationality and resources, they had to escape a war-torn Europe. The film follows Leo’s journey from Hamburg to Tangier, Esporles to Miranda de Ebro concentration camp, and Wales, highlighting the social, legal, and personal struggles of Jewish refugees in Mallorca during WWII.
