On 8 May 1945, an old police inspector walks through the Barcelona neighbourhood of Guinardó with Rosita, a teenager who must identify a corpse. Their stroll through postwar Barcelona reveals miserable lives and an oppressive atmosphere, and ends up becoming a descent into darkness with a glimmer of redemption.
