Synopsis

Peter Perez (aka Pepi), a Viennese Holocaust survivor, and his musician friend Alfred embark on a road trip across Europe. Pepi wants to write his fandango, a flamenco-style song that haunts him to this day, because as a child, he and his Jewish family ended up in the Rivesaltes concentration camp where he could hear Spanish gypsy children singing fandangos to communicate with their parents on the other side of the wall. After thousands of miles, the two old men finally arrive in Paterna where Pepi has been going for years in the hope of finding a key to face his past. There he tries to write his fandango but he can’t, and realizes he has no choice but to return to Rivesaltes to face the ghosts of his past.
