In the Barcelona of the thirties, Paulina, a young woman of radiant beauty and from a poor family, enters the house of the bourgeois Ismael Leonardo as a lady's companion to his unruly daughter Nora. Another humble and dreamy young man, Enrique Moriel, works as Nora's tutor in exchange for the Leonardos paying for his university studies. The nascent attraction between Paulina and Enrique will materialize in walks and confidences, and will lead to a tender and passionate relationship. But faced with the girl's unconditional love, Moriel's complex personality and the call of the collective ideal in the convulsive times ahead will become a challenge for her feelings. This story, crossed by the great hopes and anxieties that pushed society towards a historical crossroads, is woven with the illusions and passions of young people who believed that the time had come to defeat fatality and embrace their future.
