14 de abril

Madrid, 1931. An unemployed bookbinder slowly bleeds to death at dawn on April 14. His life goes out after being injured in a demonstration calling for the end of the monarchy. Thus begins this story about the arrival of the Second Republic to all corners of Spain. A human gaze that seeks both the great protagonists of the moment and the anonymous participants in that transcendental day. A single day in which, as in a Shakespearean tragedy, all feelings fit: the illusion of the masses, the fear of the royal family, the anxiety of the prisoners, the ambition for power, the loyalty to certain ideas, the collective hope and the pain of the victims. The tiny lives forgotten by history.
