I’m Not From Here
Giedrė Žickytė
Josebe (88) lives in a nursing home in Chile. She’s obsessed with knowing where the rest of the elderly people she lives with come from. Everyone tells her that they are Chilean, not Spanish like her. Josebe insists on thinking about her youth in the Basque Country. After a full year of living in that house, she struggles to remember that she is living in a nursing home. After 70 years in Chile, she still vividly remembers her homeland.
