Inés travels to Kiruna, a town on the Swedish Arctic Circle, more than thirteen thousand kilometers from Uruguay. She revisits her past of exile captured in hundreds of handwritten letters, written between her and her father, imprisoned for 14 years. Letters in which they shared dreams and difficulties, fighting against absence, where writing and family became a bridge to be together, wherever.

Villa Santo Domingo de Soriano was founded in 1624 by the first Europeans in the Banda Oriental (which is now Uruguay).

In 1983 a group of 154 children aged 3 and 17 years old traveled alone from Europe to Montevideo. They were children of political exiles from Uruguay, who were unable to come back to their own country; they sent their kids to know their relatives and home country. That human sign, charged with a political message, took part in children’s identity development. Nowadays, six of them still remember that day, when a crowd received them singing all together “your parents will come back”.
