As a child, Peter Perez (aka Pepi) and his Jewish family were sent to the Rivesaltes concentration camp in the south of France. There, separated from his parents, five-year-old Pepi listened, voiceless, as the Spanish Romani children in the camp sang flamenco fandango songs to communicate with their separated parents at the camp. Now 80 years later, still burdened by his trauma, Pepi embarks on composing a fandango to help process his experience. Pepi and his musician friend Alfred set out on a road trip across Europe in search of authentic flamenco music, armed only with their wry Viennese wit and a guitar in the trunk. Along the way, Pepi returns to Rivesaltes for the first time since childhood to confront the ghosts of his past.
Preceded by a guitar performance from Francesco Barone and an introduction from Director Lucija Stojevic and Film Subject Peter "Pepi" Perez.
