Barcelona, 1923. The city has gone quiet.
But beneath the silence, a deadly battle begins to take shape.
Miguel Primo de Rivera seizes power, and the chaos in Barcelona fades. Rebel leaders disappear. Brutal protests end. Order returns to the streets. Alejandro Rivas, a hardened military officer, enforces this new order. He lost his right arm in the Rif War and carries its scars every day. He now serves the regime and hunts those who resist it.
Mateo Vidal and Isabel Torres refuse to surrender.
Mateo, a passionate anarchist, stands between love and revolution. He plans bold acts against a regime he hates. Isabel, a quiet bookbinder and his partner, sees the cost of their choices. She fears what their cause may demand from them.
Narcís Oller once shaped stories. Now he watches. He sits in the cafés of the old city and records what others ignore. He knows the silence hides more than peace.
Rivas tightens his control. Mateo and Isabel struggle to survive. Oller observes a city that looks calm but burns beneath the surface. Anger and hope still live in its shadows. Every choice carries a price.
