Manuel and Ramallo were 10 years old when the Civil War hit Mallorca and they were witnesses to the execution of a friend’s father. Ten years later, ill with tuberculosis, they find themselves in the Caubet hospital in Mallorca, and they renew their friendship, even though the way the face up to their illness separates them. To Ramallo, it is only one more stone in the road, whereas to Manuel, death is getting closer, so he lives locked up in his religion. His faith will face a crisis when he finds out that what he feels for Ramallo is more than friendship.
