Synopsis
Plan Rosebud: on images, sites and politics of memory is a complex project wich consist in a book and 2 feature films.
Plan Rosebud 2, the second half of this project focuses on the Spanish Transition, the period
that took place after the end of Franco’s rule, placing it in its cultural
context, as well as on the final years of the Labour Party's rule in Great
Britain during the seventies and the rise of the conservative leader Margaret
Thatcher. Through analysis of social movements and popular culture, the film
attempts to dismantle the idea that a pact among the Spanish ruling elite, led
by Adolfo Suárez and King Juan Carlos, “saved” Spain from a new civil war
and paved the way for a peaceful transition to a democratic regime.
