In this road-trip documentary, Jimmy Barnatan y Mike Inverno se sumergen en un viaje a la América profunda, descubriendo sus aristas y contrastes, espacios mil veces fotografiados pero también rincones desconocidos. Un viaje lleno de encuentros con músicos, camareras, camioneros y otros personajes que, aunque secundarios como ellos, se convierten en protagonistas. immerse themselves in a journey to deep America, discovering its edges and contrasts, spaces that have been photographed a thousand times but also unknown corners. A journey full of encounters with musicians, waitresses, truck drivers and other characters who, although secondary like themselves, become protagonists.

We accompany singer Anne Etchegoyen on the journey undertaken every winter between 1870 and 1940 by hundreds of women from Navarre and Aragon—known as the "swallows" because of their migratory resemblance to birds—across the Pyrenees to the French Basque Country to work in the espadrille industry and then return home in the spring to help the local economy, start their own families, and begin a new life. A journey through time, geography, and historical and personal circumstances, through archives, documents, photographs, and interviews.
