After 80 years of silence, new forensic technologies help a group of families reconstruct the fate of their relatives, whose bodies were stolen and secretly transferred to the mausoleum of their executioner. Facing legal and bureaucratic obstacles, the film uses digital techniques and archival materials to trace the disappeared to the Valley of the Fallen, restoring what repression tried to erase.
