For twenty years Sofia has been caught between Spain and Romania: between a “home” she reaches through a screen blurred by a weak internet connection, and the drowsy heat of the El Titi campsite, which is both where she lives and where she works. On the threshold of retirement she plans to go back, and is pulled into a whirl of memories, regrets, attachments and introspection. Her mother tongue no longer quite belongs to her, the adopted one cannot be learned, Europe shrinks to airports and time zones, her compatriots speak mostly through Facebook groups, and her son, the reason she left illegally, seems lost long before she realised it.
