The production, a mixture of historical drama and spy thriller, takes us through a series of time jumps to Civil War and post-war Spain. After Franco’s victory, Dr. Guillermo García Medina is still living in Madrid under a false identity. The documentation that saved him from the wall was a gift from his best friend, a Republican diplomat whose life he saved in 1937. Dr. García believes he will never see him again, but in September 1946, Manuel returns from exile with a secret and dangerous mission: he intends to infiltrate an escape network of fugitive war criminals run from Madrid by a German woman.
