On November 20th 1975 Francisco Franco dies. This fact brings to an end a 36-year long personal dictatorship. The Spanish society initiates a process of collective oblivion in order to establish the bases of the young democracy.

Thirty years after, “Between the dictator and me” gives voice to the first generation born in democracy and encourages everyone to express themselves form their own point of view.

With the question, "When was the first time you heard about Franco?" as a starting point , six young directors make a short documentary about their own memory and their personal recollection. The sum of their views provides a pluralistic reflection on our history (and present days), a review of the legacy and prevalence, apparent or hidden, of Francisco Franco's figure, a glance at the present in order to find the key to the past and to understand a world where the figure of dictators persists, unfortunately, even nowadays. A filmic experience against oblivion. An attempt to give an answer to the eternal questions: who are we? why are we what we are?
