Marzia Apice It 'hard to imagine a climate of terror and savagery in a Western country and therefore "civilized" as Spain, now a spokesman for major campaigns for the rights of minorities and emblem of freedom and emancipation.
Yet, not many years ago, precisely on March 2, 1974, was executed in that country with a boy of 25, who, after being sentenced to death for political reasons, was killed by garrote, one of the most atrocious and inhuman torture used since the times of the Inquisition.
Those years represented Spain in the last glimpses of the Franco regime, notorious for having brought to its knees and humiliated an entire nation, making him live in fear and total lack of civil rights and freedom. On March 2, 1974 was the date of the death penalty in Spain and that boy, Salvador Puig Antich, a militant of the Movimiento Ibérico de Liberación, From that day he was consigned to history and memory of the English people.
"Salvador-26 years against" a film is tough, passionate, sad but hopeful. The film tells the story of the homonymous and unlucky protagonist, who, who served almost as a game in the MIL, the beginning seems to be divided among the girls to seduce and actions provocative demonstration. Then, perhaps without much awareness, goes with his fellow militants near the guerrillas active in France. Then begin the robbery, and there's also the weapons and the danger to overturn what seemed to be a breeze. Surely, everything changes: increase the political awareness and with it violence. Blood flows on the street is the blood of the boys, but mixed with that of the police.
A war between the poor desperate people who do not change anything. The ambush of the police put an end to the battle of El Salvador, who collectively became, from this moment on, a personal struggle.
's not all: the age of 20 Dec. '73 kills Admiral Carrero Blanco, and El Salvador becomes a real scapegoat. Now the young man is forced to fight not only the institutions but also against a tragic fate. And against a fate that wants him dead, unjustly, madly, Salvador lose.
This film, directed by Manuel Huerga, is not only the story of the events that led to the sentencing to death of Salvador, but also the history of everything that his family, his lawyer, his friends have done to save it from condemnation groped.
"Salvador-26 years against" and the chronicle of a desperate attempt to avoid the atrocious performance of a young man of 25 years, but is also the story of a universe of feelings, hopes, passions, and evils of physical suffering ' mind. And it is the fresco of the dark era that marked the lives of many families beyond repair.
At the end of the film poignant shot: after the funeral of Salvador, a lot of red rose petals plow the ground is wet from the rain. They are tears that wash a land wet from too much blood.
Not to forget. Never.
