Mario drives and his boss, Miguel Canales, entertains himself in those instances in which he recreates in an erotic code the scenes that the Board of Cinematographic Censorship has finished cutting.

In autumn of 2001, Marcos Alvar follows in the trail of two lovers that committed suicide at the beginning of the postwar period. After a baffling discovery in the spot were they were buried, Marcos embarks upon a complex investigation all while witnessing dumbfounded as his own life irredeemably comes asunder.
And thus, with a double start that pays homage to the black novel, Private Session will peel away its many layers till leaving a compact structure similar to a Matryoshka doll: from the war excesses to our century´s lack of memory; from Francoists Spain´s cultural perversions to a crude present-day report on the lack of affection and tradition.
