On the eve of a major offensive, the Republicans put him in charge of the destruction of a bridge, the main logistics artery of Franco’s army. Maria (Ingrid Bergman), a young woman who was saved from the firing squad, and Pilar, Pablo's wife, a tough and stubborn man, bothwill participate in the operation and mantain the fighting spirit until the end of the war.
