As a child, the director Alejandro Alvarado was told that his grandfather, Pepe, had died. Later, he discovered that after the Spanish Civil War his grandfather actually had moved to Argentina in search of a better life. His grandmother, Mary, has no further information about his whereabouts. Alone with three children, she was forced to leave Spain, starting a diaspora that scattered the family around the world: Spain, France, Colombia, Poland and Canada. A story about the war and its consequences - poverty, exile and repression - that hides unexpected discoveries.
