Summary:

This documentary tells the story of Josefa Celda's search for the grave of her father, a farmer and member of Esquerra Republicana, and all the bureaucratic red tape involved in making the exhumation and transfer possible, along with the challenges faced by her mother. But it is also the story of the ‘women in black’; the mothers, wives and daughters who, every 1st of November, All Saints' Day, have been going to the cemetery since 1939 to pay tribute to their relatives, sometimes risking their lives.
