In 1936, during the Spanish civil war, the poet García Lorca (Andy Garcia) was killed by fascists. Twenty years later, Ricardo (Esai Morales), a young Spanish journalist, returns to his hometown of Granada to find out who killed his childhood idol, in memory of his dead childhood friend, Jorge (Gonzalo Penche), who was also killed during the war. Along the way, his efforts are thwarted, but he does find love with Jorge's sister, Mara Eugenia (Marcela Walerstein). The poet's spirit is lost amid the convoluted plot.
