At the end of the 1970s, a young man from the Salvadoran middle class is introduced to the emergent revolutionary movement through his participation in the local union movement.  In a textile factory he meets a beautiful worker and a group of friends.  But he unions are forced to face the military, and the civil war in El Salvador begins.

This event will be conducted in Spanish.
