Synopsis
Set in Madrid, a 20-year-old, Marixtu, leaves Pamplona and moves into her dead brother's apartment in order to investigate the questionable circumstances of his brutal death, in which he was attacked by neo-fascist skinhead assailants in a local park. Unsatisfied with the efforts of the police inspector assigned to the case, Marixtu begins her own investigation... and discovers, unbeknownst to her, that her brother was, in fact, gay. Thusly, Marixtu is forced to confront the fact that however harmless her beloved brother was, his homosexuality--vis-a-vis one city's intolerace--was enough to cause a spark for the fatal attack.
