Starrring Ariadna_Gil and Ramón_Fontserè, the film was nominated for eight Goya_Awards in 2004, and won the award for Best Cinematography. ==Plot== {{spoiler}} A novelist (Gil) who has abandoned her writing career tracks down the details of a true story from the last days of the Spanish_Civil_War. The writer and Falangist Rafael Sánchez Mazas (Fontserè) faced a firing squad along with fifty other prisoners, but managed to escape into the woods. A Republican soldier, apparently one of those searching the area for the escaped prisoner, found him but allowed him to escape. The novelist pieces together the fragments of the story, plagued by contradictions and mysterious characters, and comes to realise that her search for the truth is a personal quest of self-discovery. {{2000s-drama-film-stub}} Category:2003_films Category:Spanish_films Category:Spanish-language_films Category:Films_based_on_fiction_books
