A film crew travels through the roads and towns of northern Spain. They follow the footsteps of the clandestine journey undertaken by the group Cantacro- nache group (seven young ethnomusicologists from Italy) who in the summer of 1961-during the Franco dictatorship-collected popular songs of resistance. Through the prism of oral memory and the sound archives recorded in 1961, the two journeys engage in dialogue, shaping an emotional and political geog- raphy of a territory where the wounds of the past remain open.
