Translated, the title refers to a Spanish blend of historical recounting and mythmaking. The story involves a doctor and nurse who - some sixty years after the Spanish Civil War - happen upon a body outside of Barcelona and ponder its origins. In flashback, the film explores the gentleman's life, identity, sudden death, and his relationship to events from the doctor and nurse's childhoods. Victoria Abril (Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!) co-stars. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
