EnglishNobody ever forgets their first true love. Manuela and Olmo were aware of this even at the tender age of 15. Now that they are both over thirty, they live in completely different worlds. Manuela has moved to Buenos Aires and Olmo is living with his new girlfriend. The magic of young love seems long gone. With trepidation yet familiarity, the two suddenly find themselves facing each other – not entirely by accident – in Madrid, their native city. Time flies while they attend a concert, meet friends and go dancing. Old letters surface, sparks turn to flames and the unanswered: “what if…?” question arises. Without clichés, LA RECONQUISTA tells of the magic of love and memories.
