Plot summary
In 1938 a film crew from the territory held by Franco's forces travels to Berlin at the invitation of the German studios there. The job is a musical set in nineteenth-century Andalusia, to be made in separate Spanish and German versions, and at first the group is happy to be working far from the fighting at home. The star, Macarena Granada, draws the notice of Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister, who is determined to have her. She finds him repellent and prefers Blas Fontiveros, the director of the Spanish version, who is married, but she is made to understand that the project and relations between the two countries require her to comply.
