Luis Caro emigrated to Madrid in 2002, where he had to survive without his family, playing music in the underground. A year and a half later, back home in Argentina, he compares this experience with the exile that he suffered with his family during the last dictatorship (1976-83).

We travel across a country stunned by economic crisis and undergoing many social changes since the popular strikes of December 2001. Together with Tomas Abraham, the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, the selfemployed workers of Zanon and others, we observe the hopes and expectations these people have for Argentina.

The story of Luis Caro reflects that of many Argentinians, whose loss of faith in their own government resulted in the great exodus, mainly to Europe, and above all to Spain- the reversal of the journey made by their ancestors when they arrived in Argentina looking for a better life.
