Synopsis
Miguel Núñez knew that the end was near. After a lifetime of chasing utopias, he entered his final battle of a dignified death with the same revolutionary fervour as when he battled Francoism and Central American dictatorships. This is the story of a “hero of our times”, as the writer Manuel Vázquez Montalbán described him. A man who spent 14 years in Franco’s jails, was sentenced to death, tortured and risked his life on countless occasions for his universal dreams of social justice. Coherent, lucid and sarcastic until his last breath, Miguel organised and controlled every detail of his adventurous life.
