Several years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, reticent Anxo returns to the Galician village where he was born. Through casual conversations during his trip, he discovers how war and the new Franco regime have transformed the relationships between people. At home, he is greeted with suspicion by both sides.

“Sure, you’ll have difficulties finding this one – but try to get it, because it’s THE Katja Bienert film you always wanted to watch; the one you HAVE to watch if you’re into mid-80s-sleaze and a beautiful young girl displaying her wonderful body and her absolute incapability of acting.”…
