and for reasons you will learn one day...

Javier.

Yes, ma'am.

"When you receive this letter I will be

on a ship bound for Leningrad. "

"I know this decision will cause you"

"pain and distress. "

"Nobody has forced me

and my ideals in life"

"are the same as yours. "

"Nothing has changed. "

"Only the responsibility

I myself have taken on"

"to look after

and protect these children,"

"who are not guilty of our sins. "

"I hope you can forgive the pain

that I have caused you"

"and that soon we will be able"

"to be together again in a Spain

full of peace and prosperity. "

"Much love, your daughter and sister. "

- Bernardino.

- Not a single Word!

We will never discuss it.

We no longer have a daughter.

She is dead to us.

In June 1937

1,495 children and 72 teachers

arrived in Leningrad.

Among them were Paula

and her son Javier,

who 4 years later would be buried

somewhere in the immensity of Russia.

She is very... How do you say it?

Hurt, affected.

So what? We all are.

Except she is more hysterical...

and weak.

Hunger, Russian.

Hunger killed poor Javier

and will kill us all.

She was always

especially fond of that child.

She loved him like a son.

Our interminable journey to Stalingrad

continued by different means.

Anything served to escape

the German advance

but we didn't always succeed.

Once my piss froze in the air.

Hurry up or you'll freeze your rear off.

...and I found five books by Cervantes.

German paratroopers frequently landed

behind Soviet lines.

I knew their methods well.

- It's Paula

- Yes.

And your coat?

I can get him from here but you can't.

You don't want to have a dead man

on your conscience.

Alejandro is the best shot

in our children's home.

The girl is right.

He can avenge his father's death.

Russian soldiers!

Thank heaven!

SUMMER 1942

After a few months' refuge

in Stalingrad,

the German attack of the city

made us flee again.

Forced by necessity,

we exchanged our warm clothing for food,

but our greatest problem

was still transport.

He says it's impossible.

Why will it be impossible?

We came from Stalingrad in our engine

and it's been stolen.

Let's get it back.

Angel, it wasn't ours.

It wasn't our engine.

Besides, who knows where it is now.

Please ask him to give us another one

so we can keep going.

All the engines are for the army.

To send soldiers to defend Stalingrad.

Then...

If the Germans leave Moscow alone

we can return.

Returning to Moscow after 9 months

in Stalingrad is a dream.

We can't go back to Moscow.

This is just a respite.

The Germans want to get coal from

the Don River basin to stop industry

but they'll have to enter Moscow.

Neither Moscow nor Stalingrad.
