The film, directed by Pedro Grimaldi, with his mother as the protagonist, narrates the events unleashed in Jerez since the occupation of the military rebels on July 19, 1936. It is a tribute to the "wounded generation", the one who lost their childhood in the context of the war and the postwar period. Girls and boys who had to mature quickly.
