How it feels

In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, rebel authorities took seventeen women from their homes in Guillena. They were harassed and humiliated, then shot and buried in a mass grave in a neighboring town. Seventy-five years later, their families begin the exhumation. The film shows how violence against women was used as a weapon of war, and follows the families' long struggle to find and bury their loved ones.
