He does so after the discovery of an unusual event, which happened a century ago: the mysterious disappearance of his great-grandfather Román, which triggered an irreversible family drama.Four generations will suffer the vicissitudes of their time in different scenarios: the Spain of the end of the 19th century, Barcelona and Buenos Aires; the Second Republic, the Civil War, the Second World War and the invasion of France by Hitler's troops. This was followed by a new exodus to Argentina, this time that of Perón and Evita, and then the return to Franco's Spain.A profoundly human story of beings trapped in turbulent times, which narrates the emotions inspired by uprooting. A tribute to loyalties, friendship and love. A vindicating memory of the emigration and exile that dragged tens of millions of Europeans to South America. A living history of us all.
