August 1944: After a tumultuous journey through fascism-ravaged Europe and North African labor camps, a group of Spanish communists and anarchists reaches Nazi-occupied France. Alongside the Résistance, they fight until the German capitulation. However, their greatest wish to see their homeland freed from dictatorship will remain unfulfilled for decades. Based on the memories of Miguel Ruiz, a Spanish Republican, Paco Roca reconstructs the little-known history of the Spanish exile resistance fighters during World War II.
