Synopsis
In 1934, a young man leaves the quiet English countryside for London, seeking his fortune through music and manual labor. With only a basic grasp of Spanish, he then journeys to Spain, a country on the brink of civil war. This memoir captures his year of travel through a beautiful yet volatile land, seen through the fresh eyes of youth.
