Aroview: Examining the Spanish Civil War from a left-wing point-of-view, this passionate war drama focuses on a trio of women - a spiritualist, an ardent freedom fighter and a fugitive nun - who join a militia in Barcelona and make their way to the front to fight alongside men as equals.

Carried by three star actresses of the Spanish cinema, they’re matched by a visually splendid backdrop, detailed to perfection and bustling with the turmoil of conflict right up until the bloody finale.
