Taking up with a poorly armed Republican alliance, he soon becomes enmeshed in the desperate struggle to protect the country’s democratic government from General Franco’s advancing armies. David bonds deeply with his comrades, especially the beautiful Blanca (Rosana Pastor), but is dismayed as political infighting threatens to plunge the whole resistance movement into turmoil.
