In the middle of the Spanish Civil War, the young doctor Víctor Dalmau, together with his pianist friend Roser Bruguera, are forced to leave Barcelona, go into exile and cross the Pyrenees to France. On board the Winnipeg, a ship chartered by the poet Pablo Neruda that took more than two thousand Spaniards to Valparaiso, they will embark in search of peace and freedom that they did not have in their country. Received as heroes in Chile - that "long petal of sea and snow", in the words of the Chilean poet -, they will be integrated into the social life of the country for several decades until the coup d'état that overthrew Doctor Salvador Allende, Victor's friend for their common fondness for chess. Victor and Roser will find themselves uprooted again, but as the author says: "If one lives long enough, all circles close." A journey through the history of the twentieth century by the hand of some unforgettable characters who will discover that many lives fit in one life and that, sometimes, the difficult thing is not to flee but to return.
