Little Vilma - The Last Diary

Kisvilma talks about what had preceded her autobiographic Diary–trilogy: a film director now, she returns to the home of her childhood, to Frunze in Kirghizia, to the village near the Soviet-Chinese frontier. Here she is received by her childhood love, now gray-haired, who puts her up in the house that used to be her parents'. The thirties are recalled, when Kisvilma's parents, along with many other left-wing people from all over Europe, immigrated into the „homeland of the revolution". When Stalin sets out to exterminate all alleged dissenters, more and more foreigners are taken prisoner, among them Kisvilma's father. Also the families of the „criminal husbands" are made subject to suffering, her mother dies of typhus, and Kisvilma is sent to a reform school. Claudia from Spain takes her up as a foster child, and it is only after the war that the orphan girl, having lost both father and mother, can return home. (Mokép)
