La madrina de guerra / The War Godmother

Madrid, 1936. Aurora has just come of age. She works as a nurse in a city resisting fire and bombings. Amidst the violence, she decides to bring hope to the republican front, corresponding with a young soldier, Teâofilo, thus becoming (like many other women then) a 'war godmother'. In every letter, these youngsters find refuge. In them, they can express what they cannot say out loud, while discovering a love they never imagined. But in a war in which everyone could be a spy, written words can be exceptionally dangerous. Years later, in the silence of the post-war period, Teâofilo finds out that Aurora is still alive. He immediately tries to bring the person who gave him love and peace, despite the fire and gunpowder, back into his life--
