A good spanish film
22 April 2000 | by danzinger – See all my reviews

This is a film about the lost years, about politics about franco dictatorship, but viewed from the point of two philosophy students that are jailed casue they painted a graffiti by a "cop" who hates them. They escape helped by two young american girls, this film is the story of their escape. It is based on real facts. The graffitis still on the wall of philosophy university in Madrid
