"Caracremada" ("Burnface" in Catalan), a nickname given by the Spanish Civil Guard to Ramon Vila Capdevila, reflects about the libertarian resistance against Franco's regime through the last active guerrilla fighter. In 1951 the CNT ordered the retreat of its militants; however Ramon Vila remained in the woods of inland Catalonia where he restarted the fight operating on his own.
"Serrallonga" is the story of a bandit who becomes a legend, in a hard time when the struggle to survive was the main concern of a people enslaved by hunger and with banditry as one of the few exits from misery. Joan Sala, alias Serrallonga, is above all a rebel. Robberies and assaults make him admired by the people and his legend grows unstoppably until the end of his days.
