EL PERRO NEGRO - stories from the Spanish Civil War is a poetic collage of home movies and films that gives an impression of the mood and time in which this conflict took place. Joan Salvans i Pierra and Joan Ernesto Diaz Noriega are the protagonists, their films and stories lead us through Spain in the thirties and forties of the last century. Ernesto, a middle class student from Madrid, survived the war. Joan, a Catalan industrialist, was killed six days after its outbreak. Why?
