Princesas rojas

Eleven-year-old Claudia and younger sister Antonia are the daughters of Sandinista activists who are forced to flee Nicaragua for Costa Rica in the 80s. They move from place to place, from house to house, from school to school as their parents continue their underground activities. But when their mother betrays the movement leaving for Miami with their money, their father is forced to balance his paternal duties with his revolutionary ones. Told from Claudia’s point of view, this coming-of-age story captures the anxiety and uncertainty of growing up in an ideologically charged household.
