Catalonia's push for independence from Spain did not start with the 2017 referendum; this film traces the roots of a tension that runs through language, taxation, and centuries of shifting borders. It lays out the historical grievances Catalans cite, from the loss of regional autonomy under Franco to disputes over how much tax revenue Madrid keeps versus what Barcelona sends back, and sets these against the arguments Spanish unionists make for keeping the country whole. Interviews and on-the-ground material examine why Catalan identity, language, and culture became a political flashpoint rather than a settled regional matter. The film treats the conflict as a live argument rather than a foregone conclusion, giving space to both the case for secession and the case against it. It ends without resolving the question, leaving Catalonia's status exactly where it stood when the cameras stopped rolling: unresolved, and still a source of friction between Barcelona and Madrid.
