Década de los sesenta, vientos de cambio en España. Poco después de que don Juan de Borbón viese entre raciones de calamares cómo su hijo juraba los Principios del Movimiento, el cadáver del Caudillo entró bajo palio y por su propio pie hasta la tumba. Rajoy y Zapatero aún eran estudiantes. Aznar jugaba a falangista. Tierno Galván, Felipe González y Carrillo pugnaban por salir de la clandestinidad mientras el triángulo se iba perfilando para encumbrar al héroe de esta gesta. Y fue así como en el mes de julio de 1976 el rey nombró presidente del Gobierno a Adolfo Suárez, gracias a aquella chica rubia de la que todo el mundo estaba enamorado. Entre la ficción y la historia, entre los nombres de ayer y los de ahora, este juego literario creado a partir de la confusión de la memoria perdida de Suárez es un retablo de niebla, un juego político movido por el azar. Desde la posguerra hasta hoy. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winds of change were blowing over Spain during the 1960s: Juan Carlos de Borbón swore loyalty to Franco's National Movement; Rajoy and Zapatero were still in school; Aznar played at being Falangist; and Tierno Galván, Felipe González and Carrillo struggled to come out of hiding. In 1976, thanks to a bewitching blond woman, the King elects Adolfo Suárez as President. Somewhere between fact and fiction, between the names of yesteryear and the figures of today a political game where moves appear to be driven by chance emerges from the mist.
