Contracampos is the attempt to (re)build a landscape. A recreational area and a shooting range in the west of Asturies, which, between 1937 and 1943, housed a Francoist concentration camp through which thousands of Republicans passed – firstly militiamen, later guerrillas and their relatives. Sharing a leisurely observation with the viewer, the film intends to resignify that space, giving it back its political meaning. But it is not a question of showing –of filming– the invisible, but rather of showing what is missing in what exists today. What was and is no longer, not even in people's memories.

Between October 1937 and November 1952 hundreds of Republican supporters took to the mountains of Asturias with two main objectives: to save their lives, and to continue their armed resistance against Franco. Many of them would die in those mountains. This film is centered on filming the places in the present where the major figures of the Asturian Guerrilla Group were killed.

“Together we lived the revolutionary experience of these last years. Together we took up arms in October. Together we suffered the bloody blows of the repression. As class brothers we rose up to crush the criminal uprising caused by the most rotten part of the Spanish reaction”. A story of the Sovereign Council of Asturias and Leon (August 24 – October 21, 1937).

Compiles a collection of short films from the Republican Asturias of 1937, which were intended to be antifascist propaganda cinema.

Nine Asturian filmmakers reflect aloud, alone in a hotel room, on the existence, the main characteristics, and the current situation of the cinema made in Asturias.

A small film crew moves through Asturias in search of the places where the main ambushes against the Republican Guerrilla (1937-1952) took place. In that trip, they meet several people willing to share with them their memories of that time.
