SPAIN, 1937. Posted to the Aragonese front, Lieutenant Llu s Ruscalleda eschews
the drunken antics of his comrades and goes in search of intrigue. But the lady
of Castel de Olivo - a beautiful widow with a shadowy past - puts a high price o
n her affections.
In Barcelona, Trini Milmany struggles to raise Llu s' son o
n her own, letters from the front her only solace. With bombs falling as fast as
the city's morale, she leaves to winter with Llu s' brigade on a quiet section
of the line. But even on 'dead' fronts the guns do not stay silent for long.
