San Sebastian, 1960. Jesusa Ibarrola wants to buy some shoes for her 20-month-old daughter Begoña. She leaves her aunt Soledad looking after the child at Amara station. But a bomb goes off, killing Begoña. The justice administration under Franco closes the case without making any arrests, and it is forgotten about. In the year 2000, Ernest Lluch brings the story back onto the news agenda by making a controversial revelation: he claims to have discovered that Begoña was the first victim of ETA. In 2010 the Congress of Deputies officially recognises her as the first victim killed by the terrorist group. The case seems to have been definitively cleared up. However, some historians question this version, suggesting an overlooked and mysterious terrorist organisation made up of Spanish and Portuguese exiles, and supported by Che Guevara and the Castro regime.
