Pedro Miguel

Nino, tough but sickly, and his older brother Vicente live in the country with their father. After their father disappears ― we’re never sure why ― murder is suggested. Vicente brings his girlfriend to the house, and a different kind of family is established as the three youngsters grow fiercely protective of each other. But their uncle grows suspicious about the fate of the missing father and forcibly kidnaps Nino, taking him away to the city and leaving Vicente to locate him there.

En 1936, le déclenchement de la guerre civile espagnole oblige Maria, une bonne soeur, à quitter son couvent. Elle trouve refuge dans un bordel, où elle fait connaissance avec un groupe de femmes anarchistes qui luttent contre le régime franquiste, mais aussi, plus généralement contre l'ordre établi.
