In Barcelona in the 1970s, a can with the label "Fiestas del Pilar" sleeps among the immense number of negatives kept in the Fotofilm film development laboratory. It is a false title. A code among connoisseurs that hides a clandestine film. It is not the only one. There are many more. Footage shot with borrowed cameras and underground dust, which hunts for a change of mentality that generates deep tensions. Through raw, no-frills material, following the thread of the person who shot it, the story of the democratic conquest is filled with nuances.
