At the end of the Spanish Civil War, almost half a million people moved by fear of reprisals to France. A hundred thousand of them were children. The French Government overflowed by the human avalanche, put them in improvised refugee camps. Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, former consul in Spain before the war, convinced the President of Chile to save more than two thousand refugees. The film tells the story of Julia, a little girl that escapes Barcelona with his father, a young widower. They embarked on the Winnipeg, a ship chartered by Neruda. That saved them from a dark future in Europe. Now, she is “a daughter of Neruda”, as the descendants of the 2,200 refugees call themselves.

In Cienfuegos in the 1980s, a poetic young girl tries to make sense of her parents' volatile separation while keenly observing the reality of Cuba's dilemmas.

Luis never acted as a father, and now that he should and wants to, he can't. Kike always runs from responsibilities, and now he's faced with his biggest one yet. Girón, a ruthless lawyer, and Curro, a professional schemer and owner of the neighborhood bar where they both grew up, will be their advisors. Lola, a social worker as strict professionally as she is insecure personally, will also appear and closely monitor the children's upbringing. An atypical, modern, and "connected" family.
