Broken silence

During the winter of 1944, when World War II is about to end, there are still armed groups in the Spanish hills refusing to accept the victory of Franco's regime and fighting to restore the republic and its democratic values. They are guerrillas (Maquis), who survive with the support and the collaboration they receive in small towns. Lucia -just 21 years old- arrives in one of these towns to stay with her aunt and help her in the bar-shop she runs. She immediately meets Manuel, a young man with a sad look in his eyes and a big smile, who collaborates with the men in the hills. Lucia is attracted to Manuel and the bravery of these men who, hidden in the inhospitable cold mountains, continue to fight for their ideals, even though it may cost them their lives. For Lucia, they are the future and their presence dispels the fear and the silence that hangs over the empty town streets.
