Title: Carol's Journey
Review: This is the story of Carol, a spanish-american girl, who travels to visit her mother's family in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Her father is fighting in the International Brigade to aid the Republicans. Carol is naturally rebellious and resists her new surroundings at first. Eventually she finds her own path in a new culture and among family and friends.This isn't the first time a coming of age story has been made, but this movie has an interesting twist with the setting in Spain during the civil war. You catch glimpses of how the war affected the lives of everyday people. The movie is well made with wonderful scenery. It is of course in spainsh with english subtitles, but if you are a lover of languages you can appreciate some of the struggles that Carol goes through adapting to her (semi)new language. If you've ever lived outside of your own culture you'll also appreciate this movie.
