Spain, 1936. In the mountains, a small group of Republican fighters struggle to halt the advance of the Nationalist troops. With the help of an international brigade and the local population, they prepare to bombard a bridge on a strategic road. This operation is a success, but as it returns, one of the aircraft comes down and help has to be organised.
