Spain in the spring of 1931: The country is embroiled in a civil war between the monarchy and the republic. But that doesn't bother young deserter Fernando. He finds shelter in the house of painter and free thinker Manolo, who lives in seclusion, disillusioned with the world. Manolo's hospitality is put to the test when, with the heat of summer, Manolo's extremely charming daughters arrive from Madrid for their annual summer stay. The concerned father senses trouble and wants to get rid of his guest as quickly as possible. But in vain: Fernando succumbs to the charms of the attractive sisters and a lustful game of seduction takes its course, in which, however, he is not the one who determines the rules.
