SYNOPSIS

“Is the story of our lives printed on our foreheads? Right from the very start? In my case, it’s easy to find out; a visit to the Sagrada Familia and I found out […] Where do I need to go? To the façade that depicts the Nativity, of course. Where else? I look at the lefthand portal and up at the top are the three figures from the flight to Egypt. Can you see that baby in the Virgin’s arms? Well, that’s me. And that’s how Bordegás, the child of an unknown father, explains his relationship with the Sagrada Familia. Back then, as kids, they ran free and disputes between rival gangs were settled by throwing stones. Several decades later the church has reached its full height and they are adults; they will exchange street fights for the rifles of the Civil War.
