The Idea behind volVèr
The word "volvèr" in Spanish means "to return to the origin", going back to the roots, to the beginning. If one considers the interpretation of that "return" part for a moment, it would mean that something had gone wrong on life's path up to that point - a choice made with an outcome not anticipated at the time. It could also be interpreted as returning to the starting point (like a race, walk, hike), simply because the route/path had been completed.
During a trip to Barcelona in 2006, I came across the word volvèr when I saw the billboards and bus-/tram advertisements for the release of a Pablo Almodóvar film with the same name. With the catching title and Penelope Cruz on display everywhere, the invitation to watch it was easy to respond to. And, after watching the main character sing a flamenco adaptation of the 1934 song "Volvèr" by Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera, I was hooked - but in an undetermined "good" way - and did not quite know or realise what this would eventually mean to me personally.
