Paloma Ferrer and her family move to Madrid in search of a prosperous future only to become embroiled in the country's bloody civil war. Paloma's parents, distressed over her two older brothers involved in the resistance movement, virtually ignore the quiet little girl. Teased and tormented by her older brother and sister, Paloma quickly learns she must fend for herself. Through the ravages of war, Paloma becomes an innocent but keen observer of the drama surrounding her. As she grows into a teenager, Paloma faces a new emotional crisis when her sister dies in childbirth. At the crucial age of fifteen, she must now care for her infant nephew.
