The working hypothesis of this article maintains that immersive productions developed in recent years, based on immersive technologies (360 videos and VR) exhibit a certain degree of consolidation in their productive practices, formalizing their own language and narrative grammar. Interactively specific. To meet this objective, we analyze, from a qualitative approach, a set of nonfiction works, designed to be experienced and explored through VR viewers. The results show that spatiality stands as the specificity of the medium, while highlighting the maturation of the use of immersive languages for the production of contemporary works.

In 1924 a revolutionary uprising took place in Vera de Bidasoa and its outskirsts, in the hands of a group of Spanish anarchists and refugees who crossed the French border. The second part of Pío Baroja's La familia de Errotacho (1932) narrates these events in a non fiction novel avant la lettre. A close reading of some formal aspects of the text and a comparison between the story and historical facts triggers a reflection on the problematic nature of this hybrid genre, the author's personal and ideological motivations and the reception of the novel in the context of the Spanish Republic.
