Description
Towards the end of the civil war there was, near the border with France, a shooting of Francoist prisoners. One of them escaped alive, thanks to a young republican soldier, and was able to take refuge in the forest. It was Rafael Sánchez Mazas, poet, founder of Falange and future minister of Franco. Sixty years later, a low-level novelist unearths this war episode and, fascinated by it, intends to investigate and clarify his circumstances.
