SYNOPSIS Synopsis english Avion (it means airplane in Spanish) is a set of villages scattered among the mountains in the past marked by poverty and mass exodus. Now Avion is also synonymous of economic triumph of Galician emigration to America. Most young people had to leave one day their land in search of a better future. Many of them found it in Mexico and now return with the mission accomplished. But behind that appearance of success, after the luxury cars and mansions erected on the ruins of the past, hides the pain. A constant pain of goodbyes, broken families and a deep sense of nostalgia that seems endless. Story Line The effects of migration in a Spanish village that lost generations of young people for decades.
