We're in the early days of 1939. Miquel Serra i Pàmies is the Deputy Secretary of PSUC and a minister of the Government of Catalonia. Suddenly, orders arrive from Moscow: a scorched-earth policy must be carried out in Barcelona before the imminent arrival of the fascist army. Instead of carrying out his mission, Miquel Serra focuses his last efforts to stop the communist plan. When Franco's army reaches Barcelona, the soldiers find the city intact. Serra has saved thousands of lives. Scorched Earth is a documentary film that tells the story of Miquel Serra. His ordeal was not only a slice of history, but also a paradigm of unwavering ideological consistency, of sacrifice and love.
