The Year of the Discovery
In 1992 – 500 years after the beginning of Spain's global empire with the discovery of America – Spain proudly presented itself to the international community as a modern, developed, dynamic country through the Olympic Games in Barcelona and the Expo in Seville. But for filmmaker Luis López Carrasco (1981, Murcia), 1992 was also the year in which the regional parliament building in Cartagena was razed during furious protests against the threatened closure of various local industries. El año del descubrimiento revives this almost forgotten history in a typical Spanish bar in Cartagena, where different generations come together to drink, eat, smoke and talk. Stories from witnesses, demonstrators and strikers from back then and discussions among younger café visitors on themes such as class consciousness, the economic crisis and the role of unions percolate to the surface amidst talk of other life issues.

Reviews
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
