A successful young novelist who has lost inspiration makes her living as a teacher and a journalist. Her latest assignment is to investigate a true story that took place at the end of the Spanish Civil War involving the fascist ideologist and writer, Rafael Sánchez Mazas. The novelist gradually pieces together this story, riddled with contradictions and enigmatic characters. Unwittingly, as her search progresses, she not only pieces the truth, but finds herself as well.
