Una luz tímida

In 1959,^[4] Isabel is a young history reacher who works in a school in Barcelona. She falls in love with Carmen, one of the school's literature teachers. Although Carmen is at first wary, the two enter into a relationship.

Carmen's family, who are very conservative, don't accept her relationship with a woman, and, after trying to separate them and failing to do so, admit Carmen to a psychiatric hospital to be cured of her homosexuality. There, Carmen undergoes electroconvulsive therapy.

Some time later, Carmen leaves the hospital and returns home with Isabel, leaving her family and work behind. Upon returning, she must fight the effects of the therapy, but Isabel does not leave her side and cares for her as best she can.^[5]
