As from an unreleased interview to Santiago Carrillo, it's built a non fiction story about a director trying to create a movie with it.

Asturias, 2023. A veteran director finds by chance an old videotapes inside a large shoes closet. Checking the tapes he discovers that inside them there is an interview made years ago to the legendary politician Santiago Carrillo, where this one explains how it was created on Spain at 1931 the Second Republic , the political situation in the country then, the large differences between the worker-class in the rural areas against the upper-class in the cities, and how the failed coup d'etat of General José Sanjurjo in 1932 led to the Asturian Revolution in 1934 (that eventually caused the Spanish Civil War, resulting in General Franco's dictatorship). Interspersed with it, while the director is editing the tapes, he also makes a review of his own life talking with the ghosts of his youth version, his ex wife and his mother, trying to discover where he did failed with them and if the things could have been done in a different way.—Chockys
