Leo, el hijo del doctor republicano español, inicia un viaje para descifrar los enigmas que han rodeado a su familia a lo largo de décadas. Lo hace a partir del descubrimiento de un hecho insólito, sucedido un siglo atrás: la misteriosa desaparición de su bisabuelo Román que desencadenó un drama familiar irreversible. Cuatro generaciones sufrirán las vicisitudes de su tiempo en diferentes escenarios: la España del final del siglo XIX, Barcelona y Buenos Aires; la II República, la Guerra Civil, la II Guerra Mundial y la invasión de Francia por las tropas de Hitler. A ello seguirá un nuevo éxodo a la Argentina, esta vez la de Perón y Evita, y después el retorno a la España franquista. Un relato profundamente humano de seres atrapados en tiempos convulsos, que narra las emociones que inspira el desarraigo. Un homenaje a las lealtades, la amistad y el amor. Una memoria reivindicativa de la emigración y el exilio que arrastró a decenas de millones de europeos a América del Sur. Una historia viva de todos nosotros.
Leo, the son of the Spanish republican doctor, begins a journey to decipher the enigmas that have surrounded his family throughout decades. He does so based on the discovery of an unusual event, which happened a century ago: the mysterious disappearance of his great-grandfather Román that triggered an irreversible family drama. Four generations will suffer the vicissitudes of their time in different settings: Spain at 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 will be followed by a new exodus to Argentina, this time that of Perón and Evita, and then the return to Franco's Spain. A deeply human account of beings trapped in troubled times, which recounts the emotions that uprooting inspires. A tribute to loyalties, friendship and love. A vindictive memory of emigration and exile that dragged tens of millions of Europeans to South America. A living history of all of us.
