La flor del almendro

Jesús Rocandio

Spain | 2025 | 75 min | Documentary
Synopsis
The summer of 1936 saw two thousand people executed throughout La Rioja, and among the “tumbados” (not fallen) was Agustín Martínez Royo, the Republican mayor of a small village on the banks of the river Ebro, Alcanadre.
When his body was exhumed during the years of the Transition, an almond tree had grown over his chest. This tree, born from spilled blood, serves as the guiding thread of this auteur documentary, where the search for truth intertwines with the uncovering of the senselessness of a dark and fateful time.
