Lovetown

What was happening in the world in 1977?


While the spaceship Enterprise begins its journey into Space, the May Mothers manifest for the first time in Buenos Aires and Star Wars fills the cinemas all over the world, in a wonderfull and remote place of the Spanish northwest –recently finished the Franco’s dictatorship– the time stops; and a dream is beginning.

Breixo, an altruistic young man, meets with the inhabitants of a commune near his village, in the other side of the river. In spite of his closeness to the conservative leaders of the village, Breixo is attracted by the communers’ alternative lifestyle, and helps them recover the lost village of Vilamor (Lovetown). Without private property, working the earth and joined with nature, the dream begins to take shape (despite the constant obstacles from the local authorities). The horizon of a new world appears on the lost mountains of Galicia.

But things start to go wrong when Breixo falls in love with Sonia, one of the communers. The free love is not made for him, neither the drugs, atheism... Sadly, he leaves Lovetown. Not everybody is destined to live that dream.

Thirty three years later, become in a famous writer and with the old ideals in some place of his memory, Breixo returns to the place where he lived the best years of his life.
