“El último sefardí” is a documentary directed by Miguel Ángel Nieto in 2003. The film follows Rabbi Eliezer Papo on his journey through the medieval Sephardic tunnel of time. During this journey, places such as Jerusalem, Istanbul, Thessaloniki, Split, Sarajevo, Curaçao and Toledo are visited and explored. The main objective is the search for a language, Ladino, and a people, the Sephardim, the Jewish people expulsed from Spain with the Edict of Expulsion in 1492. Throughout the documentary, old songs, ancient stories, dramatic experiences and beautiful words that have survived for more than five centuries in the memory of the Sephardim are recovered.
