Spanning 1932, 1937, and 2017, three men confront the ghosts of a Spain torn between desire and repression. Carlos fights for acceptance, Sebastián falls in love across the battle lines of the Civil War, and Alberto unearths a family secret buried for decades. Bound by forbidden passions, violence, and inherited wounds, their intertwined destinies expose a legacy of intolerance that refuses to die, echoing the tragic world of Federico García Lorca. (IMDB)
