Storyline

At the end of the Civil War, Manuel Cortes, a former mayor of the town of Mijas in the province of Malaga, had no chance to escape from Spain. After a long and dangerous journey, he managed to make it home one night without being discovered. His wife, Juliana, warned him of the numerous firing squads operating in the village. They therefore decided to open a small hole in the wall where Manuel could hide. Manuel Cortes could never have imagined that this small space behind the wall would become his personal prison for 30 years. This is the story of the so-called "post-war moles" who had to sacrifice an entire lifetime to escape repression.
