Tumba sin nombre
Ángela Ferrer lost her grandson during the Falklands War. A year has passed since the end of the war, and Ángela has not resigned herself to accepting her grandson's death, much less to not being able to visit his grave and pay him the tribute she considers more than deserved. Today, Ángela searches the cemetery for an abandoned grave that could serve as a space to visit her grandson. Finally, she decides on one that shows signs of neglect. She refurbishes it and leaves behind a small painting she made, in which we see a sailboat sailing across the sea. These visits take place weekly, while Ángela continues her daily routine, until one day they are suddenly interrupted.

The Falklands Play
The Falklands Play is a dramatic account of the political events leading up to, and including, the 1982 Falklands War. The play was written by Ian Curteis, an experienced writer who had started his television career in drama, but had increasingly come to specialise in dramatic reconstructions of history. It was originally commissioned by the BBC in 1983, for production and broadcast in 1986, but was subsequently shelved by Controller of BBC One Michael Grade due to its alleged pro-Margaret Thatcher stance and jingoistic tone. This prompted a press furore over media bias and censorship.The play was not staged until 2002, when it was broadcast in separate adaptations on BBC Television and Radio.
