A little village in Guadalajara called Luzón.
A school frozen in time,
Some grandparents that told us what they lived there being very children, to be able to recreate a day of their school.
Some grandchildren who interpreted with their voices those children that their grandparents were.
"Viaje al principio" is a tribute to those children who lived in the rural school of such a hard time, through an immersive experience where you will live a school day, from that school where nothing was the same as now.
Do what Don Mariano tells you, obey, or you'll be pulled by ear.

Un pueblecito de Guadalajara llamado Luzón.
Una escuela parada en el tiempo.
Unos abuelos que nos contaron lo que allí vivieron siendo muy niños, para poder recrear un día de su escuela.
Unos nietos que interpretaron con sus voces a aquellos niños que sus abuelos eran.
“Viaje al principio” es un homenaje a aquellos niños que vivieron la escuela rural de una época tan dura, a través de una experiencia inmersiva donde vivirás un día de escuela, de aquella escuela en la que nada era igual a la de ahora.
Haz lo que te diga D. Mariano, obedece, o te llevarás un buen tirón de orejas.
