"It was with my family." <em>grandmother</em> My mother was watching TV. When Aznar came on, she said to me in Spanish, "They're coming back, Francisqueta, they're coming back," referring to the right wing. It was the first time I'd ever heard her make a political comment. At that time, there were still many people alive who had suffered under Franco and who were still afraid. On May 5th, Aznar was sworn in as president, and curiously, she died the next day of a heart attack, at 84 years old. Perhaps she couldn't bear the shock that made her relive all her ghosts from the past.</p>]]></description>

      <subtitle><![CDATA[During the Civil War and the post-war period, people from all over Spain came to the island, some fleeing hunger and others the hostile climate of their hometowns due to their status as victims of repression. The ARA Baleares reconstructs their history, full of silences and fears, based on the testimony of two of their grandchildren.]]></subtitle>
