Plot.
In 1992 – 500 years after the beginning of Spain's global empire with the discovery of America – Spain proudly presented itself to the international community as a modern, developed, dynamic country through the Olympic Games in Barcelona and the Expo in Seville. But for filmmaker Luis López Carrasco (1981, Murcia), 1992 was also the year in which the regional parliament building in Cartagena was razed during furious protests against the threatened closure of various local industries. El año del descubrimiento revives this almost forgotten history in a typical Spanish bar in Cartagena, where different generations come together to drink, eat, smoke and talk. Stories from witnesses, demonstrators and strikers from back then and discussions among younger café visitors on themes such as class consciousness, the economic crisis and the role of unions percolate to the surface amidst talk of other life issues.

Wiki.
The Year of the Discovery (Spanish: El año del descubrimiento) is a 2020 Spanish documentary film directed by Luis López Carrasco. The documentary focuses on the social protests that took place in Cartagena in 1992, a struggle of the working class in the context of the implementation of industrial restructuring policies that affected thousands of workers in the Region of Murcia after the collapse of companies such as Bazán, Peñarroya and Fesa-Enfersa, dedicated to shipbuilding and chemical and metal industry.
The film won two Goya Awards, Best Documentary Film and Best Editing, out of two nominations at the 35th Goya Awards. At the 8th Feroz Awards, the film won Best Documentary Film, from a total of four nominations.
