Synopsis:

Two young people learn about love as politics turn their world upside down in this drama from director Ana Diez. After a long and successful career as a soccer player, Xavi (Nicolas Pauls) retires from the game and moves to Spain, where one day to his surprise he happens upon Rosana (Maria Botto), a friend from his childhood in Uruguay. As Xavi and Rosana catch up on what has happened to them over the past thirty years, they flash back to 1973, when young Xavi (Pablo Arnoletti) and his father Manuel (Emilio Gutierrez Caba), a shoemaker, lived down the street from Rosana (Pia Rodriguez).

During the military coup in Uruguay (1973), Xavi and Rosana, two children who are friends and neighbours, end up parting ways. Many years later, they are reunited in Spain. This gives them the opportunity to take a long look back at their childhood and country of origin. The time of first love, innocence and solidarity was violently interrupted by a historical - and familial - event in which the children's feelings had no place. At that time, only political colour mattered and alas, the friendship between the son of a Tupamaros collaborator and a soldier's daughter was no longer possible.

Centers around the lives and loves of immigrants upon their reunion.
