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.
