Spain, 1981: When armed men hold up a bank and take hundreds hostage, a reporter races against the authorities to uncover the true motive for the heist.
Sabaté lives in exile in France, but since the end of the Spanish Civil War he has never stopped making forays into Spain in an attempt to overthrow fascism in the only way he knows and considers effective: direct action. This journey, structured like a road-movie with a hint of western, highlights the fears of four characters and Sabaté, their past, their regrets and questions about their cause and the violence, uncovering the ghosts of the past of all these characters in a fast-paced adventure where both sides show that they are fine adversaries.
Set in early 18th-century Madrid, the plot follows the love story between an agoraphobic cook and a widowed nobleman.
