Spanish short documentary film.

They were sentenced to death for a crime they had not committed. They spent years in prison. They were reborn the day they were declared innocent and released. Ron, Shujaa, Greg, Albert. This is the story of four friends. Of their individual and collective struggle. The battle of four exonerated people who wanted to end capital punishment. And also the story of his wives, his sisters, his daughters... Of the women who stayed by his side. A fable of friendship and love. A journey across the United States, from Texas to Washington, to end an inhumane and unjust system.

Between 1937 and 1938, during the Spanish Civil War, thousands of minors were evacuated by their own families from the Republican zone to the Soviet Union to prevent them from perishing in the indiscriminate bombings that the rebel army directed against the civilian population.

Contracampos is the attempt to (re)build a landscape. A recreational area and a shooting range in the west of Asturies, which, between 1937 and 1943, housed a Francoist concentration camp through which thousands of Republicans passed – firstly militiamen, later guerrillas and their relatives. Sharing a leisurely observation with the viewer, the film intends to resignify that space, giving it back its political meaning. But it is not a question of showing –of filming– the invisible, but rather of showing what is missing in what exists today. What was and is no longer, not even in people's memories.

This documentary rescues from oblivion an experience of cultural resistance during the Uruguayan dictatorship. Education conceived in another way: creation, freedom, expression. A film course for children organized by the Uruguayan Cinemateca. An experience that awakened vocations, or created them. Thirty years later, several referents of Uruguayan culture revive the experience that united them as children, and that forever marked a generation of creators.

Marem a Senegalese dancer girl 14 years to emigrate to Europe, and Sonia, a Spanish dancer attracted by the magic of Africa, are linked by Pap Ndiaye, father and husband of Sonia Marem.
