Based on texts and letters from various authors, the film is a striking mise en abyme, looking at the emptiness, after the Spanish Civil War. Anxo returns to his home village in Galicia. And as he goes back, so do his ghosts. Every face, every gesture, every word is a political act. In a sort of prolog, two exiles from society who have been expelled from the system remember the times when begging enjoyed a certain social consideration while both share a loaf of bread. Just like them, Anxo is on the fringes of the system, disowned, wandering through places that were once familiar and where he is now an intruder. In search of a place, he crosses paths with other characters, winners and losers of a divided Spain: a merchant who is emigrating to the Americas to quit begging; a widow, who does not want to remember, just waits for her son to return; the mayor and his friends; a Republican prisoner who describes the fear of fear; and Celsa. Because with Anxo’s return, so did a letter for her. A letter that will take you across the border and into the long night of a timeless time. What we are now, what we were once. Memory and oblivion, if such a thing as oblivion even exists.
