Hidden in a house, about to be demolished, in the town of Sant Cugat del Vallès, located in the Spanish province of Barcelona, two red boxes are found; and inside them a totally unexpected treasure: thousands of photographs that the Republican photographer Antoni Campañà Bandranas (1906-89) took during the three years of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39); an enormous frieze of daily life in cruel times.
