The Rock

Taglines

Overview

La Roca is an epic Romeo and Juliet love story between the massive Rock of Gibraltar and its neighboring Spanish city of La Linea. Despite being declared enemies by their countries, they used to be inseparable. But in 1969, Francisco Franco, the fascist dictator of Spain, closed the entrance to the British territory of Gibraltar, isolating 30,000 people without food, water, or telephone lines. According to him, The Rock would fall like ripe fruit. Indoctrination on both sides eventually forced the separation of thousands of mixed families, who for over 13 years would meet at the border every Sunday to look through binoculars at their estranged lovers, brothers, parents and babies, screaming messages from a distance. La Roca tells the emotional tale of this important chapter of world history.

La roca

Overview

En 1969 el único dictador fascista que sobrevivió a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Francisco Franco de España, cerró la frontera de Gibraltar, aislando a 30.000 personas sin comida, agua o líneas telefónicas. En sus propias palabras, ‘si Gibraltar no es devuelto a España, todos morirán de hambre’. ‘La Roca’ es una épica historia de amor al estilo de Romeo y Julieta entre la gigantesca roca de Gibraltar y la ciudad fronteriza española de La Línea. A pesar de ser declarados enemigos por sus países, la población de ambas ciudades dependían unos de otros, se casaban entre ellos y vivían felizmente con sus hijos bilingües. Solían ser inseparables. Sin embargo el adoctrinamiento de las dos partes y la repentina decisión de Franco, forzó la separación de miles de familias mixtas. Durante 13 años las familias se reunían en la frontera cada domingo para mirar con prismáticos a sus esposas, hermanos, padres y bebés, gritando ‘Papá te quiere’ desde la distancia.
