Synopsis

A group of teenagers get together to investigate and debate one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. The year is 2021, the place is Brunete. There, more than eighty years ago, in 1937, people who were their age at the time fought and died. If the critical transmission of history to new generations is one of the great unresolved issues in our society, Un cielo impasible does its best to expose and remedy this deficiency, showing an open and restless image of the new adolescence, far removed from all clichés. In addition to its committed stance, this exploration of battle scars proves that drones can also be used in creative and relevant ways. (SdB)
