Synopsis
In, 1938. Victoria, a widow of a Spanish Republican, finds herself confined in Saturraran prison along with her sister and her son. This particular women's prison is looked after by Mercedarian nuns and was the stage for one of the darkest chapters of the Spanish Civil War. Victoria experiences the horror of it first hand. The director of the center, instigated by the theories of Dr. Vallejo, snatches the children out of the hands of the female prisoners, justifying that it is best for Spain. Driven by desperation from the loss of her child, Victoria stands up to him along with the other inmates, suffering unbearable punishment and humiliation.
