Who doesn't have the right to fill a suitcase with the dream of a better life? A suitcase that passes from hand to hand, a silent witness to the different lives that take place throughout the 20th century. The textile colonies, the workers' revolution, the world wars, exile, make love not war, the fall of Francoism. And the constant migrations that - willingly or otherwise - do not stop. A poetic story that leads us to reflect on the cyclical nature of history, which tends to repeat itself, as if we never really learn.
