The
year is 1938. Spain is in the grips of a civil war - even film production
is divided. Madrid and Barcelona studios defend the republican cause.
Others eventually submit to Franco's dictatorship. This is the case with
a group of actors and directors of the extreme right who are in the service
of the government. As a sign of cordiality between Franco and Hitler,
the troupe is invited by the UFA studios in Berlin to make an Anglo-Germanic
version of the Andalusian musical "The Girl of Your Dreams".
