February 1939. The collapse of the Spanish Republic and the arrival in power of Franco’s Phalangists resulted in the desperate flight of the population of Spanish Catalonia to France. Men, women and children, who had become refugees, were interned in camps guarded by the gendarmes. Two men separated by the barbed wire will become friends. One is a gendarme, the other is a cartoonist. From Barcelona to New York, the true story of Josep Bartolí, anti-Franco fighter and exceptional artist.
