The mass grave of nine persons executed by the Franco’s supporters in 1939 is open. Hands follow the machines, discovering the skeletons, digging in layer by layer, revealing with an incredible delicacy the brutal violence of the murders. Light and wind drift over the scene, silent testimonies of the atrocities and companion to the grievers. (K. S.)
