Synopsis

The province of Soria is one of the most depopulated in Spain. The stigma of emigration has marked this region for more than a century. Paradoxically, today it has become a host country for many sub-Saharan, Latin American, Maghreb and Eastern European immigrants. This fact has produced a clash of cultures that in the most common case manifests itself with a rejection of the newcomer. The film deals with the different nuances of racism and xenophobia, the work of one of the most important Spanish documentary filmmakers in recent years, director of the feature films “Saïd” (1998) and “Lola, vende ca” (2000) and works such as “Gitanos sin romancero” (1976), “Francisco Boix, a photographer in hell” (2001) and “Kenia y su familia” (2005), among many others
