![]() ![]() Victor and Roser’s marriage begins as one of convenience, not love. Originally Catalonian Spanish, Victor and Roser become Chilean. Their story explains what it means to belong to family and community. Ultimately, the pair return to Chile, where they have made their home when the political atmosphere allows it.

Through their relationship, Victor and Roser expose the true meaning of love, as their love for each other strengthens throughout their lives.
