The residents of Sant Climent Sescebes, a small town of about 700 inhabitants in the Alt Empordà region, are accustomed to the sounds of gunfire and explosions in the distance. Less than a kilometer away lies the Spanish army's training base, the only one in Catalonia where soldiers conduct live-fire exercises and maneuvers with explosives. Every week, the soldiers carry out exercises with live ammunition, and occasionally, other forces such as the Civil Guard, the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police), or, in recent months, even elite squadrons of the Ukrainian army, also come to the 1,300-hectare training ground.

Just over a year ago, when the Non-fiction premiered the first part of the documentary They'll make you a manIt was already clear that a sequel would be necessary. Film critic Àlex Gorina, who appeared among the witnesses to recount the abuses he suffered during his military service, said: "I can't believe I'm the only one." Following him and all the other interviewees, many more have come forward with harrowing stories, all sharing a common element: the events occurred during the democratic era. The documentary focused on four cases in which the young protagonists died in very serious and never-explained circumstances while performing their military service. The profound pain and helplessness of the families recalling the events was heartbreaking.
