On 3 March 1976 in Vitoria, during the course of a workers' meeting, police action caused five deaths and more than a hundred injured as a result of bullet wounds. That same night, Llach composed what was to become one of the most symbolic songs of the Transition: "Campanades a morts", or "Toll for the dead".
Today, thirty years on, Lluis Llach returns to Vitoria in order to perform the song in a mass concert held in memory of the victims of 3 March.
A journey in space and time conducted by the music and words of Llach himself, in which autobiographical memories are mixed with images and testimonies of the protagonists of those events. This is the story of a song, the portrait of the person who wrote it and the chronicle of the events that inspired it. A cry and a demand for permanent revolt against forgetting.
