Jaén, 1960. The classroom is thick with the scent of chalk dust and the restless energy of children. High on the wall, the stern gazes of the Generalissimo and José Antonio watch over the room, flanking the crucifix as the students file back in after the Hispanidad celebrations. The wooden desks stand in disciplined rows. As one, the children snap to attention, arms raised in the fascist salute, their voices joining in a solemn, echoing rendition of 'Cara al Sol.' As the final notes fade and the ritual concludes, they sink into their seats in a sudden, heavy silence. Every eye in the room is now fixed on you, the teacher, waiting for you to break the stillness and begin the lesson.
