Drama Benito Zambrano has adaptated Dulce Chacon’s book of the same name, set in the terrible years immediately following the end of the Spanish civil war. The film focuses on the relationship between two sisters: Hortensia is pregnant and in jail in Madrid; Pepita has come from Cordoba to be with her and look after the child she is going to have. They are both in relationships with guerrillas fighting in the underground in the mountains.

Ladrillo panfletario de maniqueísmo infantiloide y lacrimogenia fallida, que transcurre en una cárcel dónde las guardesas son todas feas, hombrunas y con bigote, y las monjas reparten hostias, pero a base de porra.

Zambrano afronta su peli desde un prisma simplón, que, por obvio, hay momentos en que hasta resulta ridículo.
