Synopsis

As Lucia (Lucia Jimenez) turns up in a small town in 1944 to work at a bar owned by her aunt Teresa (Mercedes Sampietro), the town is split between Republican loyalists and supporters of newly formed fascism under Franco. Lucia befriends Lola (Maria Botto), whose brother Manuel (Juan Diego Botto) is linked to the Maquis. Just as Lucia falls in love with Manuel, the Maquis reemerge and free jailed Republicans, causing unrest among the fascists.
