Orense, Spain, 1940, just after the end of the Civil War. Every time Elena locks the door of her home, she and her children become the faithful guardians of a sacred secret: Ricardo, her husband, their father, hides in the house, trying to avoid the brutal political persecution of the victors, who hunt, as if they were wild animals, and imprison or execute, those who have lost the bloody and tragic struggle…
A suffocating atmosphere of fear and quiet desperation permeates this tense drama. The weight of a dangerous secret presses down, creating a palpable sense of dread and the quiet strength of those forced to hide.
