Movie Info

Carmela (Carmen Maura) and Paulino (Andrés Pajares) are entertainers during the Spanish Civil War. They travel the country with their young, mute sidekick, Gustavete (Gabino Diego), and perform for the Republican troops. They're also fiery patriots, which puts them in danger when they're captured by Franco's soldiers during their tour. But instead of death, they're sentenced to perform for their enemy, putting their loyalty on the line in the face of survival.
