Fernando Colomo recurre a un personaje real, amigo de Dora Carrington, para entregar unos de sus típicos filmes libertinos. Aquí es el inglés quien, dentro de una España atrasada, con las injusticias palmarias que separan a los señoritos de la gente humilde, descubre la "alegría de vivir" hispana, tal y como Colomo la entiende.
In 1919, demobbed, Gerald Brenan rents a house for a year in Yegan, a village in Alpujarra. He has little but a love of reading and writing. He's soon the center of attention from his maid, María, who has a marriageable daughter, Ángeles; from Paco, a man who decides to guide Gerald in the ways of the village and of love; from the town's priest, his landlady, her friend who loves St. Teresa, and, from Juliana, a teen beauty who's the daughter of a witch. Gerald must sort out his feelings and face down the machinations of the town's women, who map a future he doesn't want. What he wants is romance. How far from his class and country can he venture, and for how long?
