"A Vilassar de Dalt, petit poble del Maresme, un jove s'endinsa en el fosc passat de la Guerra Civil. A través de la memòria dels seus veïns, descobreix un ventall d'històries d'una generació que visqué, de maneres molt diverses, una mateixa guerra. El documental treu a la llum records de la Guerra Civil que esdevenen claus per a les noves generacions que no volen perdre la lliçó de la història. Després d'una gran guerra ve un gran silenci. Una llarga nit al final de la qual podrem trobar la fosca ignorància o la claredat del saber."

For the last three years, Maira has had a fountain close to her house, just five minutes away by foot, thanks to a project by a NGO. Pablo dreams of having water so close some day.

That 's when we meet him, in the very moment that, as his daughter says, Frederic is looking for his memories...

...niland 1 is built on the separating line of both water and air, the center of which is the man in adaptation by a rise of the sea level. ...niland 1 builds new landscapes on the sea between water and tornades currents, a fight for air being interrupted by a mere rise of the water level, allowing the shining of the water surface line ...niland 1 tells unreasonably through pictures, lets us imagine events, persists on searching and remains uncertain.
