In autumn 2004, Èric Bertran, a 14 year-old boy, creates a website inspired on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to defend the Catalan language. One night, thirty federal officers from the anti-terrorist unit in Madrid burst into his house and accuse him of being a terrorist.
 

What is his crime? Sending an email to a supermarket requesting that the labels of the products should be written in Catalan language.
