Decades after the Spanish civil war in Barcelona, a doctor and a nurse stumble across a body that played a vital role in their childhood "aventis" (a legendary Spanish style of storytelling blending fact, fiction and myth). As flashbacks reveal the story that may or may not have happened, this modern couple uncovers a whole new series of surprises. Directed by Vincente Aranda and starring Antonio Banderas, Jorge Sanz, Victoria Abril and Maria Botto.
