EL CASO, that was his name, was an instant success with its mix of crime stories, sensational news, funny anecdotes. Regarded as a sensationalist publication for the illiterate, it produced some of the best journalism of its time, covering real life in a time when magazines were splattered with official news, forced to print the regime vision by a strong censorship. Proof is it had some well respected readers: Nobel Prize Camilo José Cela, acclaimed writer Robert Graves, filmmaker Luis Buñuel - Suarez built a media empire on its profits and always bragged about never having a politician on its cover. The documentary follows 30 years of Spain's history trough the story of the magazine and its makers.
