A few hours before the millennium celebrations on December 31, 1999, President Boris Yeltsin resigned and appointed Vladimir Putin as interim president. The children of Putin's generation only know the former KGB agent in front of power. But like young people their age in the West, they belong to the Internet generation and have access to information that does not appear in Russia's state-controlled media.

From St. Petersburg to Eastern Siberia, the report accompanies several representatives of this generation: from Putin's fanatical admirer to a passionate opposition activist.

The military uprising of 1936 tried to eradicate all traces of the social transformation that had brought the Republic. There were villages like Guímara, in the Valley of Fornela (León), whose almost unanimous support to the Republic supposed a hard and systematic repression. This isolated village, of about 85 neighbors, suffered one of the most painful forms of punishment: deportation of adults to concentration camps, separating them from their minor children. In this documentary it is told the chronicle of this terrible repression that sought to subdue and subjugate the population through fear, trying to destroy family ties, solidarity networks between the people and personal and collective subsistence economy. The memory of lullabies from their mothers was the echo that reached their children from the forced exile who lived their elders.

The film, directed by Pedro Grimaldi, with his mother as the protagonist, narrates the events unleashed in Jerez since the occupation of the military rebels on July 19, 1936. It is a tribute to the "wounded generation", the one who lost their childhood in the context of the war and the postwar period. Girls and boys who had to mature quickly. But, above all, it is a recognition of a generation of resilient, brave and fighting women who were doubly victims: by the violence of the war itself and by their status as women.

The history of the Asturian mining basin from the mouths of its protagonists. We are after the victory of the national side in the Civil War, the families decimated with the dead in common graves. The "fugaos" and the guerrilla struggle that they maintained under the slogan of the PC. The “normalized” return to the mines with surveillance by the Civil Guard, the first strikes, timid and disorganized, spontaneous; the organization then, unionized and clandestine; the “resistance boxes”, the constant pulse against Francoism…

The actions of working women from the Gijón / Xixón neighborhoods were a key issue during the end of the Franco dictatorship. The Gijón that we now know is largely the result of his performances.
