Ulises doesn't live here anymore

Synopsis: 

Migration round.

During the first decade of this century thousands of immigrants, especially Latinos, came to Spain looking for a better future. Spain suddenly became the second recipient country of immigrants in the world, moving from a historically exporter of labor to have a foreign population of more than 10%.

With the crisis, the trend reversed and many migrants were in this country, or on their way back to their homes. In addition, thousands of Spaniards marched also looking for a job outside our borders, which, in just a decade, things were again as usual.

The documentary tracks down old friends by the director, based on a study on migration conducted between 2005 and 2007, in which interviews were recorded hundreds of Latino immigrants, we look at some of them to know what had become of his life since then: Heber, a Peruvian poet worked six years in Spain and has returned to his hometown with his family; Adriano, a Colombian girl who emigrated to Spain with his wife and two children had here, now all living in Sweden; and Wilkin, a Dominican who, despite the crisis left him his job and ruined several of its projects, still lives here.

Joining them will talk to Vero, a young Spanish psychologist who had to emigrate to Latin America, as thousands of Spaniards again, driven by the few Spanish labor resources and huge youth unemployment rates.

To all of them we went to look at where they are now: in Madrid interviewed Wilkin; in Huarmey (Peru) Heber; Vasteras (Sweden) and Adriano in Trujillo (Peru) Veronica.

Traces of these modern Ulysses are what this film shows.
