Plan Rosebud 2 focuses on the Spanish Transition, the period that took place after the end of Franco's rule, placing it in its cultural context, as well as on the final years of the Labour Party's rule in Great Britain during the seventies and the rise of the conservative leader Margaret Thatcher. Through analysis of social movements and popular culture, the film attempts to dismantle the idea that a pact among the Spanish ruling elite, led by Adolfo Suárez and King Juan Carlos, "saved" Spain from a new civil war and paved the way for a "peaceful" transition to a democratic regime.

It is a documentary about the memory of the transition to democracy in Spain built from certain pro ductions of militant cinema that contradict the official images that have formed our memory of the last years of Francoism and of the first years of democracy. "From the responsibility of memory", in the wards of Primo Levi, María Ruido deals with the construction of the historic memory of the Spanish state, but her approach it's not based on the recorded testimonies, but in the verification of the lack of images of certain events and problems.
