Description

Approximately half a million Swedes vacationed to Spain in 1972, one of Europe's poorest countries who had then been controlled by Franco since 1939. 120 000 of them chose The Canary Islands as their destination. The documentary highlights and contrasts the carefree tourism with the censorship and oppression granted by a dictatorship.
