The Night of Short Films “Europe lights”

Cleopatras's Nose

11 min. | Drama | N/A

Spanish dictator, Francisco Franco visits Seville. Inside a tavern a young partisan waits. On his lap lies a briefcase containing a loaded postol. His hand trembles. On the bar, beneath his eyes sits a glass of wine, filled to the brim. The dilemma is clear: if the young partisan cannot raise the glass without spilling it, he can forget about raising the pistol against Franco. Can he control his fear enough to change the course of history?
