Directed by Isabel Coixet, the movie is set in 1885 in Galicia. Elisa & Marcela meet at school, and a close friendship slowly turns into a romance. The two want to live their love, but they must keep it a secret. Trouble begins when Marcela's parents suspect the relationship. To keep her away from Elisa, they send her to another region of Spain for several years. Natalia de Molina and Greta Fernández star as the two leads in a story that begins with this forced separation.
