"Tres días de julio" shows what happened in the city of Cádiz in the hours prior to the coup d'état of July 18, 1936, as well as what happened until the moment the Cadiz capital succumbs to the rebels on the morning of Sunday the 19th. The documentary features the participation of historians, relatives of victims of reprisals, and even some direct testimonies of people who lived those tragic days in their youth.

Ordered personally by Mussolini, with the expression "martellamento diluito nel tempo", the bombings were a studied way of sowing terror, massacring citizens little by little and ending their sources of livelihood. The film provides little-known data from that episode, such as official documents that show that democratic Italy continued to receive money from Spain for its participation in the war. In 2013, the Barcelona Court accepted a complaint against the Italian pilots who participated in the bombings. The victims, for their part, are still waiting for Italy to apologize for these events.
