One evening he arrives to a town in Asturias, where he meets Manuela, a young widow with a son, who survives by sewing clothes for Ursula, Andrade’s wife, the Civil Guard sergeant. Forteza, Tito and Manuela begin a risky friendship while the parish priest, Don Constantino, lends itself to assist the goalkeeper in return for a favor.
