On October 1, 2,286,217 people voted in Catalonia in the referendum for independence. The images of clandestine ballot boxes, polls and police charges, which caused 1,066 wounded, turned around the world. We have never witnessed such a vote. In this work there is no politician, but emphasizes the organization and participation of a people on the day of the referendum. Anonymous citizens went out into the streets and organized to make it possible, despite the obstacles. His collaboration contributed to the citizenship could exercise their right to vote. The follow-up of how the day was developed in five electoral centers highlights that everywhere the same winters, uncertainties, fears and illusions were experienced. In each one of the filmed centers, an anonymous citizen narrates from his point of view that day. His testimony, registered time later, corresponds to a story elaborated after the reflection on what happened that one day.
