The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) caused a great impression on the lives of most of the American artists of that era, so many movies were made in Hollywood about it. The final defeat of the Spanish Republic left an open wound in the hearts of those who sympathized with its cause. The eventful life of screenwriter Alvah Bessie (1904-1985), one of the Hollywood Ten, serves to analyze this sadness, the tragedy of Spain and its consequences.

The unexpected death of the director’s father is the starting point and the spur for an intense journey through hidden family stories, an in-depth investigation into the asbestos lobby, and a legal battle. A difficult personal experience uncovering a strangely silenced scandalous, global and current environmental and public health disaster.

For the first time, the tennis world championship would be held for just one week and in a city: Madrid. Eighteen teams strove to win the prized “salad bowl” trophy. Lead by Rafa Nadal, the Spanish team were this year’s favourite until they suffered a serious setback.
