Ësáasi Eweera, one of the last kings of the Bubi people of Equatorial Guinea and a threat to Spanish colonial powers, died in 1904 in mysterious circumstances. A century later, this unsolved case is reopened, starting with his ascent to the throne and stretching all the way to the present.
"Presented at the Berlin Film Festival and nominated for eight Goya Awards, "Anunciaron tormenta" is a documentary that begins with the story of Ësáasi Eweera, one of the last kings of the Bubi ethnic group of Equatorial Guinea, who was a threat to Spanish colonial rule, and who died in 1904 under mysterious circumstances. The documentary revisits the case more than a century later, mixing a detective structure with an interesting visual experimentation that, at the same time, denounces the crimes of Spanish colonialism, while questioning the fragility and fleetingness of collective memory."
