Plot

Set against the backdrop of 1975 France, Jean, a once-idealistic Spanish Communist and accomplished screenwriter, grapples with his dedication to his homeland under General Franco's oppressive regime following a devastating personal loss. As he navigates his political beliefs and the long-awaited demise of Franco, he faces the added challenge of understanding his strained bond with his son. The narrative serves as a poignant continuation of “The War Is Over” (1966), delving into themes of exile, loyalty, and the struggle for identity in turbulent times.
