SYNOPSIS

On 20th November 1936 a man died and a myth was born. Buenaventura Durruti, the mechanic, anarchist gunman, and member of the Barcelona anti-fascist militia. Half a century later the French journalist Libertad Casal decides to uncover the mystery of his death. The investigation exposes ghosts of her own past, and along the way journalist and reader become witness to the first great bank robbery of Spanish bank, and follow the path of Durruti through Latin America, staying with him on his exile in France, and then to Saragossa with the Durruti Column after it stopped the military coup in Catalonia. In a profound historical exploration, Álvarez magnificently recreates the atmosphere of the time, and under the fine August rain, brings the iconic freedom-fighter back to life for one short summer.
