A powerful story of love and war with the river Ebro as its testimony.

As the 1936 Civil War breaks out, Cinto, a young man from Tortosa who is about to go into a seminary is kidnapped by one of the leaders of FAI-CNT. They casually imprison this archivist priest, who happens to know all there is to about valuable treasure of Pope Luna and the cathedral of Tortosa. Cinto will now form part of the treasure escort, along with the assault guard, Corporal Martínez Rabosa, member of the UGT, and Clara, a young anarchist who is involved in the education of women in the city and a supporter of free love. Whilst they look after the treasure, a triangle of love and hate triangle develops between Clara, chief Martínez and Cinto. Through these characters, the story shows life in the city of Tortosa, which was first in the rearguard but ended up being bombed and destroyed by fascist troops, when the River Ebro became a frontier between the two sides.
