(Manuel Fernández Valdés / 98´ / 2012 / Spain)   In 1992, Fidel Castro’s Cuban government travelled to Galicia (Spain) and visited the house where his father was born. At the time, the Galician president was Manuel Fraga, a minister in the Franco dictatorship. Fraga received Castro with great honour and had prepared an itinerary packed with outings, tributes and celebrations. Despite their political differences, they both spent two days together. This film is a personal journey into those forty-eight hours.
