At La Fontana, an asylum-seekers center in León (Spain), people from many backgrounds and languages decide to make a film together. The question isn’t what story to tell, but how to tell it among so many voices. A collective visual essay of small experiments, where memories, sounds of a present past and a future ahead. Meanwhile, the film is already happening.

A spiderweb, a fly, a father and two sons.

Occasionally, "your own" life is only based on the lifes of the rest. The human being, cutted off from the cultural and social, finds things in common with the other of the antipodes. An essay of the common and the different. The protagonist writes a letter and digress and imagine, with what isn't theirs. Taking it, transforming it and turning into another part of their body.

Getafe II, a shopping center suspended between past and present, reveals the fascination and fragility of nostalgia.
