In the post Spanish civil war years, Catalan kids would sit in circles among the ruins and tell stories, known as "aventis" (the film's original title in Catalan, its original language). These tales mix war stories, local gossip, comic book characters, fantasy and real events. The "aventis" told in this film are told in flashback. In the mid 80s, 45 or so years after the age of the "aventis," a doctor and a nurse-nun (who grew up together, and now are co-workers in a hospital) identify the corpse of one of the main characters of the "aventis" of their childhood and adolescence. Besides the interesting flashbacks - a chronical of the Civil War in a "typical" Barcelona microcosm itself, the discovery of this body (belonging to someone long presumed dead) leads to other surprises and unresolved doubts, several decades later
A fierce passion grows between a well-known actress and a gypsy, from whom she seeks advice about her role in a new version of Pygmalion.

Paco, the teenage son of a Civil Guard commander in Basque Country, becomes addicted to heroin.
Los restos del ejército republicano cruzan la frontera francesa. Entre los exiliados Lluis Companys, presidente de la Generalitat catalana y Aguirre, presidente de Euskadi. Con la invasión de Francia por las tropas alemanas, termina violentamente el exilio de Companys. La Gestapo lo entrega, no respetando su carácter de refugiado político al gobierno de Franco. Conducido por el Conde de Mayalde es trasladado a Madrid y posteriormente a Barcelona. De las torturas políticas se pasa al ¿simulacro? de juicio y el Presidente es condenado a muerte. Con el fusilamiento, motivado por el odio y no por razones de seguridad, se trataba de cerrar un proceso de democratización y libertad que había adquirido sus expresiones más clarividentes en Cataluña.
