Cristina is a 35-year-old woman who has life figured out: she has a job she loves and a beautiful house. However, her life begins to change when she starts feeling attracted to one of her clients.
At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the nun Maria is forced to flee her convent. She takes refuge in a brothel, until it is liberated by a woman's anarchist group. Maria joins the group and eventually goes to the front. The women's group faces the problems of fighting not only the nationalists, but also factions on the left seeking to impose a more traditional military structure.
