Your Parents Will Come Back

Your Parents Will Come Back 2015 Directed by Pablo Martínez Pessi Tus Padres Volverán

The Children of the Exile's Journey to Uruguay

In 1983 a group of 154 children aged 3 and 17 years old traveled alone from Europe to Montevideo. They were children of political exiles from Uruguay, who were unable to come back to their own country; they sent their kids to know their relatives and home country. That human sign, charged with a political message, took part in children’s identity development. Nowadays, six of them still remember that day, when a crowd received them singing all together “your parents will come back”.
