A moving short documentary that chronicles the inspiring life of Cipriano González, a local hero from Toledo, Spain, whose dedication to those most in need transformed the community over nearly seven decades. From his humble birth in Mensalbas in 1936 during the outbreak of the Spanish civil war, to the founding of the NGO Socorro de los Pobres, this documentary weaves an emotional story of altruism and unconditional love. Through intimate interviews with family members, NGO volunteers, and those whose lives were touched by his generosity, the film delves into the heart of a man who, moved by his own experience with poverty, vowed that “no one will care.” There was a plate of food missing from the table.”
It is the story of a young boy who has lost an arm in the war trying to help his superior who has decided to commit suicide. He is at home in the middle of winter with an ex-combatant's salary that the government gives him that is not enough to rent a room and be able to eat. One day he goes out into the open and walks through the forest thinking about the war and the consequences it has left on other ex-combatants, he spends the night outside with his thoughts and wakes up frozen to death from the cold. The short film begins with images of the Serra de Tramontana completely covered in snow and then immediately gives way to seeing the ex-combatant dressed in civilian clothes wandering through the forest lost in his thoughts (we see images of the First World War, images from YouTube) and immediately afterwards we see images of former soldiers and the consequences that the First World War has left on them (YouTube images). The poem that appears in the short film is by an English author named Wilfred Owen, who died in the First World War, the translation by Jordi Fité. The book is titled War Poems and the poem is called Malalts Mentals (in English: Mental Cases). The music is free, taken from an internet page. Everything that appears in the short film is designed so that you do not have to pay any copyright fees since the things are either free or their authors have been dead for more than 70 years.
