Charles loves Josefa

In 1951, Life magazine published a feature on rural Spain that included a photograph of the young Josefa Larra. Upon seeing the image, the American Charles H. Calusdian fell in love with her. Their story caused a great stir in the village and forever altered Josefa's future. Charles Loves Josefa is a vivid portrait of the postwar era that reflects two distinct socioeconomic realities in the United States and Spain, but above all, it is a plea for Josefa's autonomy and freedom.
