The buried memories of the Spanish Civil War are uncovered when young Ariadna searches for the remains of her great-grandfather and learns the moving story of an idealistic young teacher from Tarragona.
It takes her to the year 1935: shortly before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the young teacher Antoni Benaiges takes over the elementary school of a small, remote village in the province of Burgos. Thanks to his progressive, anti-authoritarian teaching methods, he quickly builds up a trusting relationship with his class. However, his friendly approach to the children is viewed with suspicion by parents and village leaders. And then Benaiges makes a promise to his pupils: During the summer vacation, he wants to show them the sea, which the children have never seen before. This idea is met with great skepticism by the children's parents ...

A film about the necessity of not allowing recent history to be forgotten, based on the novel of the same name by Francesc Escribano.
