I don’t think she’s guilty of anything. If I had a daughter that was engaging in violent political uprisings as a young teen, I’d try my best to get her help. That’s presumably why her parents sent her to a reform program.

My point is the story is disjointed and sad, but there is little cohesive theme aside from pure tragedy, and the narrative presented makes no sense.

You realise Franco was a fascist dictator?

I would sure as hell hope people start throwing Molotov cocktails when someone like that comes into power.

You did not read the article, and it shows.

You: "help", "That’s >- presumably <- why her parents sent her to a reform program."

The article: | [her parents] were so conservative they wouldn't even let Mariona wear trousers.

| "For them, it was a scandal, a stain on the family," she says. "After that, they wouldn't let me out."

| [after she ran away] They immediately reported her as an underage runaway to the authorities, and the moment Mariona was about to board a boat back to Barcelona, she was arrested.

| Mariona wasn't given any explanation [for sending her away] - she only remembers her parents' rage.

| her [second] escape was short lived. Within hours she was bundled into a car with her father and an uncle, and driven back to Madrid.

| Now aged 20, she vowed to never live with her parents again.

| "We suffered a lot too," [her father] told her when she asked him about the family decision to have her locked up in Madrid.

Her parents only care about themselves, 50 years ago and today, if you can't see that, there's something wrong with you.

You: "My point is the story is disjointed and sad, but there is little cohesive theme"

The purpose of the article and the film, as written in the article, which you did not read:

| Reformatories were institutions where girls and young women who refused to conform to the Franco regime's Catholic values were detained - single mothers, girls with boyfriends, lesbians. Girls who'd been sexually assaulted were incarcerated, assuming the blame for their own abuse. Orphans and abandoned girls might also find themselves living behind convent walls.

| The film has contributed to a groundswell of calls for the interned women to be formally recognised under the law as victims of Spain's dictatorship.

| "Women come and tell their stories – it's like a door opened to something unknown, and that's very powerful," says Marina. "People think what happened in their own home was an isolated incident. We try to say: this history isn't individual, it was systematic."

| Her mother Mariona still doubts her memory sometimes.

| But, she says, "seeing it all reflected in the film, that gives it the weight of truth."

>>Oh, word? It's dope you know the inner thoughts of everyone involved.

When asked why they captured and locked up their daughter, twice, they replied "We suffered a lot too". They expressed only rage at their loss of status when confronting her initially.

Based on disclosed facts, actions taken (that are not in dispute), and statements by the perpetrators themselves before and after the fact, we can conclude that her parents do in fact care more about their own 'suffering' and 'status', more than their daughter's physical and emotional well-being.

You, on the other hand, just made shit up from whole cloth, but are too pathetic to stand on business and disagree directly.

If I could assign remedial reading comprehension lessons to anyone on Earth, today, I would choose you.
