Javier López Cronwell, journalist, son of an American and a Spaniard, comes to Spain to write a series of anti-communist articles. The boy is politically neutral and emotionally and personally cold. He comes into contact with his paternal grandfather and the friends of his father, who died in our Liberation War, who propose that he take the provisional ensigns as a topic for his article. He prepares his return to North America without waiting to see the 25th anniversary Victory Parade, despite the wishes of his father's friends, old ensigns who will parade to show the world that they are still in the breach.
