Description
Summary:	Spain 1960. Two friends, Martin and Marcos, decide to leave for Switzerland in search of work. They leave their families in Spain and embark on a journey towards a new life in the Europe of progress and freedoms. There they will discover a mentality very different from the one that they must adapt, working like mechanics in a factory and living in a small industrial town. With the arrival of Pilar, Martin's wife, with his son Pablo, and Mari Carmen, Marcos's girlfriend, the life of single men in a country with so much freedom is ended. Work continues to be an everyday routine for Martin and Pilar, while little Pablo begins to go to the school and to integrate. With the death of Martin's father, they think that what they had come to find has already been achieved and it is time to return. To their surprise, the return will be more difficult than the first leg--Container.
