Love and War

Barcelona, 18th July 1936. The young anarchist Valentina Mur is swept along on the tide of history. After her father dies on the day of the coup d’état against the republican government, she is driven to take part in the revolution that breaks out in Barcelona. Valentina attracts the attention of the charismatic young Russian Ramón Mercader who four years later, by order of the Soviet dictator Stalin, will murder the well-known political theorist Trotsky.
