Imagine that you have siblings but you can’t talk to them because you don’t speak the same language. Imagine that you have parents but you were raised without them. You Come from Far Away is a personal and historical investigation into the participation of Arab volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Through testimonies, archives, and family memories, the film tells the extraordinary story of a Palestinian family, dispersed by several turmoils that stirred the past century: from the Spanish Civil War in which the father, Najati Sidki fought against Franco, to World War II, to the Nakba and then the Lebanese Civil War.
