Suárez went from selling appliances to leading the transition. He dismantled Francoism from within, confronted former allies, and, with cunning and determination, promoted democracy amid growing opposition.
In December 1976, Carrillo entered Spain clandestinely and secured the legalization of the PCE after negotiating with Suárez, causing tensions that sparked the coup attempt of 23F.
Gutiérrez Mellado, Suárez's right-hand man, attempted to democratize Franco's army. He went from being respected to hated, surrounded by coup forces, and lived through the final crisis of the government and Suárez's resignation.
After 23F, the coup leaders are arrested. In February 1982, the trial against Armada, Milans, and Tejero begins. During the hearing, their motivations, betrayals among the military, and the search for a favorable verdict are revealed.
