They say that the summer of '68 was the summer of love. In Spain and specifically in the neighborhood of the Alcantara family, love was fine for Jackie Kennedy and Onassis, newly married that August, but they had other important things to worry about. For starters, Toni, the first-born of the family was going to be the first university Alcantara and that required a series of expenses that had to be assumed.

A series of minor earthquakes, which begin in Andalusia and then spread throughout the Peninsula, sow terror among the population and, much as the authorities try to reassure public opinion, it is increasingly uneasy. To that is added that the State of Exception continues and that, in those days, a medical student named Enrique Ruano dies in strange circumstances. On the other hand, 1969 was the golden age of film clubs, hence Don Eugenio set up one in the parish and, to inaugurate it, he decided to project a film that made history in those days: 'The spring of the ...

The Alcantara and the Altamira try to arrange a quick and discreet wedding between Toni and Marta. For this they organize a meeting at the Altamira house where the whole matter is clear and, in addition, they indicate a date for the celebration in a discreet chapel of the mountain range. The two families have different social positions, but the initial rejection becomes understanding because they will have a grandchild in common. Marta, for her part, remains confused and does not know what to do, while Toni agrees with the wedding plans. Carlos thinks that his ...

Marta continues to think about the future of her pregnancy, although everyone around her pushes her to marry in a discreet ceremony with Toni. The young woman does not want to get married and she must also worry because the police are practicing arrests and she, like her colleagues, can be in the crosshairs of the Social Political Brigade. In 1969, the biggest mystery for a child was knowing where children came from. Carlos thinks that children can come to kiss a girl and, in addition, he has news that his brothers and, also, his grandmother are going to have children...

The arrest of Toni and Marta has plunged the Alcántara family into chaos. Antonio and Mercedes are looking for ways to get their son out of prison, either through contacts with influence, or through the intervention of the priest Eugenio, who suggests contacting members of the Felipe (popular liberation front). This possibility alerts Herminia and Mercedes, who fear that establishing relationships with anti-Francoists can only harm Toni's precarious situation. Meanwhile, the boy remains incommunicado in the dependencies of the DGS. When the family is most desperate, ...
