An intimate portrait of a city that no longer exists and another that is still under construction. Through celebrations, protests, everyday gestures, and images of the past, the film traces the transformation of Gijón: from an industrial city to a tourist destination, from a square of struggle to a stage for spectacle.
Faced with this transformation, the author returns to the square of his childhood and asks about collective memory: who builds it?, what is forgotten?, what is left out of the frame? It is a filmic document that mixes archival materials, observation, and personal voice to explore the fissures between official history and family memory. A film about grief, representation, and the desire to belong.
