Plot

edit

Jorge and Enrique are two performers in post-Civil War Spain who adopt an orphan child called Miguel. With a variety company that travels around the country, Jorge and Enrique see the horrors left by the war, while Nationalists watch Jorge and the rest of the company, suspecting that some of them collaborate with the Republicans opposing Franco's regime.
