This engaging drama is about an introspective, shy Swiss journalist. Told in a series of flashbacks, Hans (Jurg Low) remembers when he went to Spain to cover the nation's reaction to the fascist Franco's death. Hans' own father had gone to Spain as a part of the International Brigade, and while there he met and fell in love with a beautiful Spanish woman. Now Hans' father has died, and while Hans is in Spain, he meets Margareta (Silvia Munt), the daughter of the woman his father had loved. He also meets an attractive Frenchwoman (Aurore Clement) and is drawn to her. It is these relationships and their denouement that come back to him seven years after this chapter in his life had ended.
