Plot
Winter, 1944. Lucía at 21 returns to her small village in the mountains. She again meets Manuel, a young iron-smith who helps "those in the mountain", the "maquis", the anti-Franco resistance. Lucía is attracted to Manual, because of his smile and the bravery of those men who continue fighting for their ideas, even at the cost of their own lives.
Sinekatalog’s take
A wintry wartime drama of a young woman drawn to a smith aiding resistance fighters in the mountains. It is sober and atmospheric, a thoughtful watch for fans of quiet historical stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
