A somber, intimate portrait of sisterly devotion amid political terror, where personal bonds are tested against the machinery of authoritarian oppression.
Finished the Spanish Civil War in April 1939, in November 1940, while Spain is being crushed by the ruthless boot of dictator Franco, Pepita travels from rural Córdoba to Madrid to be near her sister Hortensia, who is seven months pregnant and imprisoned, haunted by the shadow of a death sentence.
