And in the Third Year, He Rose Again ( Spanish: ...y al tercer año, resucitó) [note 1] is a 1980 Spanish comedy film directed by Rafael Gil. [1] It is based on a best-selling novel by Fernando Vizcaíno Casas.
On the morning of 20 November 1978 ( 20-N), an elderly man in a coat resembling Francisco Franco in his last years hitchhikes from the Valley of the Fallen to Madrid. Around the same time, a radio report on the French franc ( Spanish: franco) is misunderstood as saying that dictator Francisco Franco has risen from the dead. The rest of the film are scenes showing how Spanish people react to the rumor amidst the Spanish transition to democracy:
Next day, the elderly man is alone in the empty square. At nearby Plaza de España, another elderly man recognizes that the future belongs to the younger and laments that the work of the old generation is not acknowledged anymore. The elderly Franco hitchhikes back to the Valley of the Fallen.
