Salamanca, summer of 1936. Writer Miguel de Unamuno decides to publicly support the military rebellion in the belief that it will bring order to the prevailing chaos in Spain.

Declaration
film director
“This film is very special to me […] because, in addition to portraying historical facts many will have forgotten and others were completely unaware of, it appeals very directly to our past and our present situation as citizens who coexist, argue and sometimes, unfortunately, destroy each other. I feel like Unamuno’s story is more alive today than ever. It’s as if he were still here, doubting and discussing essential questions that represent us.”
