In the culminating moment of the fight, when the Napoleonic armies besiege the city and the resistance carried on by the Saragossa citizens starts to abate by reason of deceases and low morale, a woman climbs over the dead to light the fuse of the cannon that symbolize that the city will never surrender.
With cinematographic rhythm which shows the pictures, the new vision of Agustina is presented, heroine by chance, who uses all arms that she possesses with a clear survival instinct. Agustina is based on the same named graphic novel, constructed by the female view on the war time. Surviving in a man’s world, Agustina improves her women’s conditions: a fighter without scruples, brandishing the armies and persuading with the brightness of her glance.
In a time of war, when the border between good and evil is diffuse, the stories are necessary to be told, heroes to be followed. In the middle of the barbarity, Agustina’s glance shines and guides a reader as a splendid master of the guerrilla art of war.
