Amodova served as one of the executive producers, and the Emmy-winning director and his wife spent seven years filming in Madrid, Spain, to re-examine Franco's history and re-examine the "history forgotten together." On November 20, 1975, Franco of the dictatorship finally died. Spain began to promote a constitutional monarchy and pardoned all political prisoners held at that time. However, people in the Franco regime were also pardoned at the same time, and Spanish political parties also reached the "Pack of Forgetting Agreement", forgetting this historical choice. With the filming of the director and his wife, from an 80-year-old grandmother telling the story of her mother's death on the road to a cross-sea lawsuit filed by victims of the Franco regime in 2010, this history has once again surfaced and opened the way to justice.
