A moving story about Spain in the forties, the hardest years of hunger and repression. A high school teacher investigates the story of an enigmatic writer who, despite being a member of the Women's Section and Social Aid, published a novel in which she seems to denounce the theft of children from Republican prisoners. However, her life turns out to be very different from what it seemed, a great fiction in a cynical world where some Falangist writers manipulate the truth and their own biographies. This novel tries to delve into the dark waters of Francoism and deactivate the mined truths with which its protagonists had sown the conquered territory.
