An old man tries to return to the homeland of his childhood uprooted by war. A young man tries to reach the moon. Both impossible journeys intertwine to remind us that the journey has no end. Where are we when we travel? That time does not exist. "The government's act of removing the memory and exhuming the remains of dictator Francisco Franco from the Valley of the Fallen prompted us to want to make this film. First, because of its imminent nature [---] and second, because this event of supposedly great national importance allowed us to address the issue of memory, which is not the same as history or historical memory." State the directors. "Our intention was to flee from positioning and simply transit memory in a state of constant zero gravity, as if it were a journey. A journey through that ambiguous, fragmentary and diffuse place." "Our process of approaching the facts and rhymes was very organic, until the last moment none of us knew how this journey was going to end. We had a discourse, a clear form as a base, and of course, some ingredients that had a strong link with reality. [Their conjunction in the editing has given life to a film that unites spaces and times, and that reflects on that enormous hole that is memory," they conclude.
