A Conversation on Amor (Guanda) by Manuel Vilas, that interweaves the levels of subjectivity and universality, of great history and biographical facts, of nostalgia and memory, of narration and reflection. A journey through which life itself is the protagonist of a path of joys and sorrows, where space and time lead us to look inside ourselves, recognising ourselves as equal and different.
