First World War. In a largely rural area of neutral Spain, two families confront one another and play a part in embarrassing situations because they don't support the same side in the war. This will influence the breakup of an engagement.

Elena is a writer and is in a relationship with a painter, Fernando. Charo works as a waitress in a hotel and continues to dream of John Sargent, her platonic love, although when she discovers that the actor is gay she returns to her boyfriend Luis. Mara, a model, and Miguel is dating a sick man much older than them. Eugenia is a haute couture dressmaker and cares for her niece Soledad, who wants to be a singer. All of them have ambitions of love, but none is happy with their current situation.

A history professor is married with a beautiful woman but she is intellectually not able to follow her husband. Therefore she seeks her own pleasures and amusements without him.

A girl who is engaged leaves the nightclub where she works. On her way home, she is the only witness of a horrible murder. Unfortunately for her, the killer has seen her. Since then, her life starts to turn into a real nightmare, because the killer is determined to eliminate her.

After killing his girl friend, Ana, Amador (a dark and strange man) joins his family (which he can't stand) in Torremolinos, where he gets involved in the assassination of a foreigner woman. It is also in Torremolinos, where Amador meets Laura, a woman who falls in love with him...

Rocio and Raphael are a young couple from a small Spanish town. Rocio must mourn the death of a relative for six months and is forbidden to see Raphael. Very much in love, they are frustrated by the old-fashioned customs of their village. When they can finally see each other, the two plan to soon marry. Unfortunately, the girl's grandfather dies and she must start the process of mourning all over again. This time Raphael begs her to rebel against her family and the villagers, but she refuses for fear of persecution. When Rocio has had enough of putting her own happiness aside, she decides to run away with Raphael in spite of what her family will say. Things do not go as planned, however, when yet another family member passes away.
