The second part of the documentary "Después de...", "Atado y bien atado" presents the sensitivity that existed in different areas of Spanish society in its young democracy concerning its future, where the fear of a sector was underlying ultra-conservative before the construction of a different country and that already announced the attempted coup d'état of February 1981. Without a doubt, this work —which could not be released until 1983— places Cecilia Bartolomé and her brother as precursors of the social documentary that will have an enormous development and that today continues to be crucial in Spanish film production.
A small group of filmmakers, led by the Bartolomé brothers, took to the streets at the beginning of the Transition to gather the opinions of politicians and citizens about the country that was about to be formed. Today, this documentary work is a true milestone that defines the history of cinema in Spain, since all its testimonies allow us to understand the plurality of a young society that meditated on how to think about its past and build its future.
