Exploration of interfamilial relationships and dynamics by emphasizing culturally specific politics in Spain and the notion of divided identities. It is a challenge to absolute positions and a search for the in-between spaces that make one's identity: My family finds itself right in the fissure of a country that since its democratic inception has struggled with the notion of national identity. While secessionist movements in Spain have existed since 1975, the economic crisis of 2008 only accentuated regional nationalism, especially in Catalonia. My mother's and father's families stand on opposite ends of the ideological conflict. The people stuck in the in-between are paradoxically doomed to silence in a conflict largely based on language difference and communicative manipulation.
