Civil Wars have destroyed countries and teared families apart. Wether in France, England, Spain or the United States. Spanish history (particularly that of the last 250 years) is really interesting and sometimes confusing with many political key players and different causes and ideologies.
The civil war period (following the Second Republic) has always been told from the perspective of the winners (Gral. Franco) or the losers (Second Republic leaders Azaña and Miaja) but this movie focuses mainly on one of the most prolific Spanish thinkers of all time: Miguel de Unamuno (a person that supported the left, the right, the catholics, the masons, the atheists, everyone and no one).
This take on the civil war is really interesting and a must watch.
