La balada del norte, 3

The Asturias Revolution has failed. The rebels fire off their last rounds and flee, while General López Ochoa’s troops and Yagüe’s *Regulares* occupy towns and villages. Coordinated by Franco from Madrid, the repression begins; it is a time for vengeance—for exacting a heavy price for the outrages committed during the workers' uprising. Here, Tristán Valdivia—the boss’s son—casts his lot with history’s losers and heads up the mountain toward nowhere, in search of who knows what.
