Plot
The plot takes place between 1937 and 1946. It tracks the dwindling fortunes of a group of Republican soldiers who retreat to the mountains between Asturias and León in northern Spain after the fall of the Front of Asturias to the Francoist faction, surviving as Maquis guerrilla fighters in the wilderness. Hunted and cornered by the Civil Guard like if they were wild animals, an escape to France is their only hope.[1][2][3][4]
