Ángel Pedrosa (Álex González, Fernando Luján) returns to Bruma (Córdoba), his hometown, from where he had to flee during the Civil War. He returns to reconstruct his family's history, to forgive himself, and to remember others. Ángel stitches together the fragments of his life during Spain in the second half of 1939. His first love, the hatred of the post-war period, the intolerance and the passages he went through until he had to flee, hastily, out of his homeland to not return until many years later.
