Si tu vas à Paris

Overview

In the early 1960s, during the height of Franco's regime, hundreds of thousands of Spaniards emigrated to other European countries, mainly France, Germany, and Switzerland. Among them were many young women who left their villages for the first time, traveling alone to Paris to become “maids of all work.” Si tu vas à Paris tells the story of seven women from the same village in Valencia who, at the age of 18 or 20, decided to take control of their future.
