Salazar, the Portuguese dictator, and Franco, the Spanish dictator, had parallel lives and supported each other, being the frontmen for two regimes which for decades coexisted in time and only disappeared after each other's death. It was such a strong relationship that one would not live without the other.
Based on rigorous international researches of images of archives, on testimonials of contemporaries in some cases, of people who worked closely with the two dictators and historian statements, this documentary follows the historical path of both Iberian neighbours.
