September 1975. Franco had signed his last death sentences.
In Sweden an 8-year-old boy took part in his first ever demonstration. On TV he had heard Prime Minister Olof Palme calling the Franco regime "Satan's murderers" and predicting that "the historical verdict will be terribly harsh". He got obsessed with Spain, Franco and the civil war. That boy and his friend travel around Spain 30 years later, trying to understand the trauma of a country they love. They ask questions about a past that was swept under the carpet by a pact of silence.
In the south they meet Mari Carmen España. She has taken the historical verdict into her own hands, refusing to accept that her murdered grandfather lies in an unmarked mass grave under a pile of garbage. Affected by her indefatigable struggle against reluctant authorities, they end up trying to help, in her fight for justification and a dignified funeral for her grandfather.
