WHO IS WHO?


Don and Gaby are an odd couple which share a lot of dreams, the most smallest of these is this trip, where two diaries will be written, two visions, two perceptions, but only one yearning to share stars, mountains, seas and roads. They are a very unusual pair, with very diverse lives, origins and different cultures. The age, the language, nationality… all those things that made them apparently different because they born, lived and raised up in unlike circumstances and ambiences, but the truth is that they are a pair of souls which have been re-cognized, two minds that have found and two hearts that have fallen in love…
