A woman remembers her hard life in Spain a long time ago
2 hours ago

Marina is a young woman from Spain. One day, her mother, Mariona, told her a sad story about her life. When Mariona was a teenager, her parents sent her to a special home because she did not follow the rules of the country. She was not a bad person, but the people in power wanted all girls to act the same way.
In the home, Mariona could not talk to other girls. She had to work and pray every day. The people there gave her strong medicine that made her feel very bad and forget many things. Mariona was very sad and lonely. After some time, she left the home and started a new life, but she never forgot what happened.
Now, Marina made a short film about her mother’s story. Many people in Spain saw the film and started to talk about what happened to girls like Mariona. They want the government to help the women who suffered in these homes. Mariona and Marina hope that telling this story will help other people too.
