The letters of Carmen and Ángel, two lovers trying to reunite during the final days of the Spanish Civil War, are currently being researched by Elsa, a photographer who travels the country recording spaces for a project related to Franco's repression. The news of a relative's death forces her to interrupt her work, reconnect with her family, and take on a pending inheritance.
