Agustín Arrazola

Juán Auzmendi, sacristan of a small Spanish village, decides to emigrate to America in search of new horizons. To pay for the trip, he steals the saving of his parish priest and begins the journey to the city of Pasajes, where he hopes to get on a ship. But Spain is again on the verge of a Civil War and the trip to the coast gets complicated.

Based on the life of Marino Ayerra, who was appointed as parson priest of Alsasua (Navarra) two days before the start of the Spanish Civil War.
