Josean De Miguel

A trigger-happy Nationalist fears retribution from the son of a man he executed. To mollify the boy's anger, he takes a drastic step: he keeps constant watch over the fig tree the boy has planted at his father's gravesite. As the years pass, the man's lonely vigil makes him a tourist attraction, much to the chagrin of his former colleagues.

Based on the life of Marino Ayerra, who was appointed as parson priest of Alsasua (Navarra) two days before the start of the Spanish Civil War.
