Album de famille (1994)

In the early 1960s Fernando and Florinda Melgar, originally from Ronda in Andalusia, chose to emigrate to Switzerland, where they were attracted by the economic miracle there. But settling down in a country with a climate and customs so different from theirs was in no way obvious. Over two decades later, they retired in their hometown. How exactly had their stay in Switzerland gone? How had they adapted? How had their employers - and more broadly speaking - the Swiss citizens treated them? These are the questions they are asked by Fernand Melgar, their filmmaker son, who has remained in Switzerland. His parents answer him in front of his camera with great sensitivity, honesty and intelligence.
