Plot

Imaginative montage work in the form of a collage about the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco made in the strictest secrecy. With this aim, the filmmaker and his team began a search of archival images and sounds that recreate, in chronological order, the proclamation of the second republic, the military coup and the Spanish civil war.
