Synopsis: “What house were you from?” offers an artistic perspective on a phenomenon in Spanish history with repercussions throughout Europe and the West: the exile of 2,895 republican children to the Soviet Union as a result of the Spanish Civil War; the German invasion of the USSR during World War II; and the 19 years they spent in the USSR before returning to Spain (1937-1956). The film also has an autobiographical element, as the author reflects on the memories of her mother and aunt, who were part of this group of children.
