In a Foreign Land (En Tierra Extraña)

Struggles of the Spanish Community in Scotland

Gloria is one of the 700,000 Spanish people who have left Spain since the economic crisis started. The film portraits the experience of intra-European exiles tackled by Spain's highest-profile female director, Iciar Bollain (Even the Rain, Take My Eyes). Gloria is a 32 year old native of Almeria Spain. A teacher without a posting, and a shop assistant in an Edinburgh store for the past two years. Gloria has set up a collective with the motto "Neither lost nor silenced". They express their frustrations and provide visibility and a voice to those who wish to participate, from among the over 20,000 Spaniards in Scotland's capital.
