SINOPSIS

The action takes place in a campsite, on the outskirts of Minneapolis, USA, in the present day.  There, beside an old, rented caravan, is Linda.  With her, her mother Paloma and her younger sibling Robin Rose.  They are the Clarkson family.  A Spanish family.  Save for their names, no different from their neighbours back home, in the Madrid district of Tetuán.  They have come to the US to meet Warren, the American who Paloma fell in love with in the '80s, Linda and Robin Rose's father.  The man who promised them an American dream, but who left them when Linda was a teenager, returning to the country he came from and leaving no trace but his memory, country music, Thanksgiving, and an Anglo-Saxon surname.
