The prestigious director Julio Medem, after being in competition in Cannes (EARTH) and Venice (LOVERS OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE) and awarded in Quinzaine (THE RED SQUIRREL), retakes with strength and inspiration the two main leitmotifs of his filmography: a love story bigger than life that transcends time and space and a critical and full of symbolism look at recent history. An ambitious project that has the support of the successful production company Morena Films (CHAMPIONS, CHE, EVERYBODY KNOWS) and the most promising young actors of the moment, Javier Rey (star of the series FARIÑA), Ana Rujas (THE MESSIAH) and the renowned Álvaro Morte (MONEY HEIST / LA CASA DE PAPEL, THE WHEEL OF TIME).

Octavio and Adela were born on the same day, April 14th, 1931, into families on opposing sides of a country that was slowly heading towards a Civil War. During the following 8 decades, their lives will intertwine, through intense encounters and misunderstandings, in 8 episodes told in 8 masterful sequence shots. A passionate love story between a brave and fighting woman and a man confronted with his contradictions, with the history of Spain and Europe as a background.
