In the spring of 1940, following the Spanish Civil War, two sons of a fallen soldier—Manolo (Jorge Sanz), a fifteen-year-old boy, and his eight-year-old brother Jesús—show symptoms of tuberculosis. Their older brother, Pepe (Santiago Ramos), takes them to a rural sanatorium near the Portuguese border run by members of the Spanish Falange and the Women's Section. During his stay, Manolo experiences a sexual awakening as he watches his nurse, Vicenta (Violeta Cela), undress each night. When she is dismissed, Manolo falls head over heels for María Jesús (Maribel Verdú), a local girl who arrives to replace her.
