The first fiction feature by Spanish director Manuel Menchón reconstructs the banishment of writer and philosopher Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) from Bilbao to Fuerteventura by Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, as punishment for his openly dissident statements against the military regime, the King and the monarchic system.
