The film, directed by Pedro Grimaldi, with his mother as the protagonist, narrates the events unleashed in Jerez since the occupation of the military rebels on July 19, 1936. It is a tribute to the "wounded generation", the one who lost their childhood in the context of the war and the postwar period. Girls and boys who had to mature quickly. But, above all, it is a recognition of a generation of resilient, brave and fighting women who were doubly victims: by the violence of the war itself and by their status as women.
Obsessively referring to the traumas and wounds that the Spanish civil war (1936-39) and Franco's dictatorship (1939-75) caused in their day no longer serves to explain the impassable abyss of incomprehension and hatred that the abject policies and radical positions adopted by both the right and the left in recent decades have opened up before the citizens of a country that is barely known beyond hackneyed cultural clichés.
The Spanish journalist Manuel Chaves Nogales (1897-1944) was always there where the news broke out: in the fratricidal Spain of 1936, in Bolshevik Russia, in Fascist Italy, in Nazi Germany, in occupied Paris or in the bombed London of World War II; because his job was to walk, see and tell stories, and thus fight against tyrants, at a time when it was necessary to take sides in order not to be left alone; but he, a man of integrity to the bitter end, never did so.
