Synopsis
The film investigates the potential of the cinematograph to put on screen the (re)construction of a collection of propaganda films of the Asturian Republican government in 1937, which, although they never existed -or did not reach our days-, could have been shot, as different evidences and news of the time show. The film proposes the archaeology of a possibility, at the same time as, on the screen, this possibility, this potential, is transformed, now yes, into cinema.
