Based on an actual story, VISIONARIES is the tale of a group of Basque villagers whose religious visions perhaps predicted or predicated the Civil War. In 1931, during the early years of the 2nd Spanish Republic, there was tension in a small village over new, secularising laws. Against this backdrop, a small group of young villagers claim to have seen the Virgin whose warning of an impending conflict reinforced the existing divisions and focused the attention of the country upon the small community, manipulated by the media and religious groups.
