My Spanish friends were born in Switzerland and were forced by their parents to “return” to Galicia when they finished school. Twenty years later, we explore the reasons for this remigration: the parents' arrival in the 70s, the Swiss life, the moment of return and my friends' uprooting when, at sixteen, they had to go and live in a place that had been for them, until then, a simple vacation destination. A reflection on exile and the generational gap, as well as an attempt to repair the wounds of childhood. Against this backdrop, it offers a nuanced picture of contemporary masculinity and its fragility.
