From harmonious family to homeless refugee, Pilar and her mother have unwittingly become the enemy. Her efforts to emerge from girl to woman tangle in Spain's Civil War. Bound by new laws enforced by the self-appointed dictator, she is forced into hiding to avoid punishment for her sister's actions during the war. The debt owed for this protection is marrying a man who loves her sister, despite she is dead. Abandoned in midlife, a law denying divorce, Pilar's desire since childhood is fulfilled despite not being allowed to work without her husband's permission.
