On Barcelona’s outskirts, Vallbona is shaped by a river, a railway, and a motorway. Antonio, a Catalan worker’s son, has grown flow- ers here for nearly 90 years, joined by Makome, Norma, and Tatiana. Amid music, romances and secrets swim, and a poetic resistance emerges against urban, social, and identity struggles.
