The paper deals with the presentation of children’s lives and the consequences of the Spanish Civil War in the film achievements of Spanish cinema. The corpus material consists of the films The Language of Butterflies (La lengua de las mariposas) and Black Bread (Pan negro) in which children interpret the roles of the protagonists. Taking into account the consequences that almost every war brings with it, we want to examine the extent to which children in Spain were deprived of a normal childhood and freedom at that time. Based on the analyzed scenes, we will show the gradational change of children from innocent victims of war to brave fight- ers for their own ideals. A peaceful and happy childhood was replaced by growing up and maturing prematurely, and the consequences of the war remained present in the years after this horrific event.

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the periods, genres and key theoretical issues discussed in the book, paying special attention to the political importance of the destape films of the 1970s and the films of the transition more widely. The chapter provides a close analysis of two important erotic comedies. These are used as illustrative examples of the issues discussed throughout the book and of the evolution of eroticism in Spanish cinema since the abolition of censorship until now: Juan Bosch’s Cuarenta años sin sexo/Forty years without sex (1978) and the recent Kiki, el amor se hace/Quickie, Love is So (2016), directed by Paco León.
