Portugal, 1917. Tres niños afirman haber visto a la Virgen María en Fátima. Sus revelaciones enfurecen al Gobierno y a la Iglesia que intentan obligarles a retractarse de su historia. Pero a medida que se extiende la noticia de su profecía, miles de peregrinos acuden a Fátima con la esperanza de presenciar un milagro. Lo que allí experimentarán cambiará sus vidas para siempre.
Abel Salazar, a scientist and an artist persecuted by the Fascist regime in the 40ies, is trying to finish a portrait, obsessed by the face of a woman. Ana, a young researcher in the present days, is dreaming about him. Or is it the other way round?
This short film is based upon a book of tales "Exemplary Crimes" by Max Aub who, in his turn, was inspired by real testimonies that describe crimes straightforwardly. The Testimonies are individual confessions by different persons that have nothing in common but the fact that all committed murder.
