Plots(1)
Madrid, 1940. General Franco and his army have seized power. The winners are not satisfied with their victory; they want to exterminate their enemy. Repression has become part of life. Hortensia, inmate of a women's prison, is pregnant. She has been sentenced to death for helping her husband Felipe who is still fighting in the resistance movement against Franco. The execution will not be carried out until she has given birth. Her sister Pepita has come from Cordoba to be by her side. During her stay in Madrid she − unintentionally and against her will − becomes a bridge between the prisoners and the resistance fighters. She struggles with this new role, but eventually accepts it and, moreover, she falls in love with Paulino, one of Felipe's underground comrades. Soon Pepita − frank and open-hearted − has to fight not only for her sister's life but also for those of Paulino and her unborn niece, ultimately risking her own life. This is the story about two sisters, their hopes, love and injustice in wartime. (official distributor synopsis)
