The final journey of war-weary members of the a remnant of the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) is explored in this dramatic movie, based on the novel Las Buenas Intenciones by Max Aub. The six in this story are fleeing to the Mediterranean town of Alicante in Valencia, in hopes of being able to escape into exile from there. They meet plenty of war-time action along the way, and their despair at losing the war and having to flee Franco's main army is evident.
