A captain in Franco's army renounces winning the war - on the very day of the victory; a young poet flees with his pregnant girlfriend and is forced to grow up quickly, only to die within a few months; a prisoner in Porlier's jail refuses to live a lie so that his executioner can be held accountable; and a lustful deacon hides his desires behind the apostolic fascism that clamours for the purifying blood of the defeated.<BR>Four subtly connected tales, narrated in the same spirit but with the individual styles of the different voices; these are stories from silent times, when people feared that others might discover what they knew. The line between the victorious and the defeated is blurred - whatever one's affiliation, nobody survives unscathed.
