Set in 1920s Barcelona, this Spanish film explores the events leading up to an assassination attempt made on the life of dictator Primo de Rivera by an upper-class transvestite homosexual with anarchist political views. Scenes from his "characteristic" lifestyle are reconstructed for the movie, as well has his crises of conscience: He has decided to kill the dictator, and at the same time has decided to tell his much-beloved mother that he is a homosexual.
