Julio de 1808. La ocupación francesa de España parece un éxito: José I Bonaparte ha sido coronado rey y un poderoso ejército francés se dirige desde Madrid a Cádiz para acabar con la insurgencia de las juntas españolas. Saqueando a placer, el general francés Dupont poco imagina que un improvisado ejército, comandado por el capitán general Castaños, está organizando una estrategia para intentar vencer por primera vez al ejército napoleónico. A este ejército se ha unido un grupo de civiles, que verán de primera mano los horrores de la batalla que cambiaría para siempre sus vidas. Seamos testigos de este episodio de la guerra de la Independencia, que se escribió con sangre bajo el duro sol de julio en Bailén. **English**: July 1808. The French occupation of Spain seems to be a success: Joseph I Bonaparte is crowned king and a powerful French army heads from Madrid to Cadiz to end the insurgency of the Spanish juntas. Sacking at will, French General Dupont little imagines that an improvised army, commanded by Captain General Castaños, is organizing a strategy to try and defeat Napoleon's army for the first time. This army has been joined by a group of civilians, who will see first hand the horrors of battle that would change their lives forever. Let us witness this episode of the War of Independence, which was written in blood under the harsh July sun in Bailen.
