Spanish magical realism film written and directed by Jonathan Cenzual Burley. The film follows the experience of a Sicilian member of the International Brigades who is travelling to Guadalajara to help fight Franco's army during the Spanish Civil War. However, before he can get there, he is inexplicably transported into the future to the year 2012 where he wakes up in a rural village vineyard.

Is there a plausible explanation for this seeming act of God?
