- On August 5th 1939, after the Spanish Civil War ended with Franco's victory, thirteen young women, seven of them underage, were executed. It was one of the most abominable incidents of the postwar period. Depite attempts to erase them from history, they pass into legend, known as "the thirteen roses". They were all members of the JSU (Unified Socialist Youth), an antifascist organization. Relatives of the victims, JSU survivors and the General Secretary of the organization, Santiago Carrillo, tell us their own story.
- In 1933, Captain Mariano Barberan and Lieutenant Joaquin Collar crossed the Atlantic Ocean at its widest point, aboard the Cuatro Vientos. It was a non-stop flight that connected Spain and Cuba and opened a new aerial route between Europe and Central America that is still in use. The second stage of the flight, from Cuba to Mexico, was apparently much simpler, yet it was marked by tragedy. The Cuatro Vientos plane and its two crew members disappeared mysteriously forever.
