Con uñas y dientes

Marcos, a union leader, is beaten by the bosses' thugs and is forced to retire while his colleagues hesitate to continue the strike they are carrying out. The one in charge of protecting him is Aurora, a leftist militant who works as a teacher in a secondary school. The film offers a bitter look at the years of the democratic transition in Spain and portrays the frustrated hopes of a broad social sector in the newly born Spanish democracy.
