The newly elected president, Adolfo SuĂĄrez, needs the 531 representatives of the Francoist Cortes to approve a law that would dissolve them, and to achieve this he seeks help from the head of the intelligence services, military officer AndrĂ©s Cassinello. Cassinello and his men will use every possible means to persuade the âirreduciblesâ of the Bunker: confidential dossiers, coercion, and a tempting lure that is hard to refuse: generous per diems and a work trip to the Caribbean. Voladura 76 uncovers the secret operation that made the arrival of democracy possible. The film draws on never-before-seen secret documents and valuable testimonies to reveal this political plot with a touch of Berlanga-style satire. From now on, the myth of the Spanish Transition cannot be discussed without taking this secret operation into account.
