Land of Edom is a research documentary that traces the forgotten history of Jews of Catalan origin; a history of over a thousand years with decisive periods of absence. It is structured in two blocks: the first part explains the period from their arrival in the Iberian Peninsula until their expulsion, by order of the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. The second part tells the period following the Decree of expulsion, with the escape and arrival at the places where they took root, and the most remarkable events to date.

My land is closed now to me
eternally locked
the door has been blocked
and we have been disgraced.
All plants are dead
And the city of splendour is
desecrated and terrified.
