La lengua de las mariposas
1999 · Film · 96 min
Directed by José Luis Cuerda
The film centres on Moncho and his coming-of-age experience in Galicia in 1936. Moncho develops a close relationship with his teacher Don Gregorio who introduces the boy to different things in the world. While the story centres on Moncho's ordinary coming-of-age experiences, tensions related to the looming Spanish Civil War periodically interrupt Moncho's personal growth and daily life.

I don't know how true to history the movie is, but if close, then "La Lengua de las mariposas" is a good example of basically anyone possibly being accused of being an anarchist at that time, if they were againt the Franco regime.
