Aguaviva is the name of a small isolated Spanish village in the region of Aragon. Just like other villages in rural Spain, Aguaviva was destined to a slow and certain death, due not only to the ageing population and extremely low birth rate but also to the exodus of active people to the towns. There were no more than thirty children in the school, the fields were increasingly abandoned and some houses were empty. The mayor of Aguaviva decided to react: he put out an advertisement in different countries: “Spanish village seeks families looking to immigrate “. The conditions for this exile: to have at least two children between six and twelve, and to stay in the area for five years.
