This adventure, which goes beyond the experiences and feelings of any person who must emigrate, brings together the personal story of its director and creator, Alfredo Lerida, and the company Tango Lovers, paying homage to the different places they have traveled over the years, until becoming appointed Cultural Ambassadors by the Uruguayan government and receive the national pavilion at the 2019 Graffiti Awards.
