Part love story, part harrowing history lesson, this heart-wrenching drama looks at the stark impact of Spanish dictator Franco’s “social danger” laws, which persecuted gays and lesbians well into the 1970s. In 1972, teachers Pilar and Elvira meet and form a close friendship that soon becomes much more. When Pilar’s mother realizes the nature of their relationship, she sends her to an asylum and authorizes electroshock therapy in an attempt to cure her “dangerous perversions.”
