Todo lo que somos hoy se gestó en la encrucijada de 1975.
Esta es, por tanto, nuestra historia, la de nuestros padres y la de nuestros hijos.
El 20 de noviembre de 1975 murió Francisco Franco. En la compleja telaraña que se teje en una España al límite, tres ciudadanos se enfrentan a ese momento histórico decisivo: Manuela, una mujer que viaja de Extremadura a Madrid para visitar la capilla ardiente; José Luis, un joven que acaba de entrar en ETA y que prepara un atentado en Madrid; y Jaime, un procurador en Cortes, héroe carlista de la Guerra Civil, que se dispone a honrar al general en el Valle de los Caídos. Ellos no lo saben, pero sus vidas están conectadas por un hilo de pasadas circunstancias que han marcado el camino de su existencia.
