Set in post-Civil War Spain, this drama centers on former soccer superstar Ramiro (Carmelo Gomez). His soccer team disbanded, Ramiro wanders into a small town where he meets and falls for Manuella (Maribel Verdo), whose injured brother fought for the Resistance. The leader of the town's Civil Guard unit asks Ramiro to participate in a local soccer competition, but there's much more behind the competition than merely the game he loves so much.
