"Encerrar: put a person in a place he can not leave"
29 March 2021
They were called moles. They were afraid of reprisals and hid in their own houses for 30 years without stepping out in sun and fresh air. Some of them lived in the makeshift trenches inside their homes which eventually became their homes for 30 years!!! This is not some fiction but a true story of one such mole and his battles with ennui and isolation.. Spain civil war 1936, the social unrest that costed almost half a million lives not to mention of which many were never accounted for. As the fascist Franco's general Emilio Mola said "It is necessary to spread terror. We have to create the impression of mastery, eliminating without scruples or hesitation all those who do not think as we do." Although the tempo and gravity could have been projected little better, it is a good watch..
