Synopsis

Malaga, Spain, becomes a battleground from July 18, 1936, to February 9, 1937, as eight foreign characters recount their experiences during the Spanish Civil War. A military coup faces resistance from a popular rebellion, marking the city as the first capital to fall under siege. The situation escalates with the arrival of Mussolini's troops, leading to the city's control by Franco's regime. This seven-month conflict shapes Malaga's fate and foreshadows the larger struggles of World War II.
