Once upon a time, there was an empire where the sun never set. This empire had a court. This court had a king, but this king had no heir. They married the king, who understood that copulation was a duty of state and attempted it with exemplary dedication, but failed. The entire court, from the nobility to the jesters, gets down to work, sparing no means or methods, to produce the desired heir, and they reach a conclusion: the king has been bewitched and needs be exorcised.

This movie doesn't have any coherent plot. It's the portrait of the lives of different people in the hard years of post-war in Spain (the 40's), and how they manage to survive in a country desolated by the war. Like other films: La colmena or Roma (Fellini) it shows us lots of characters and some moments of their lives.
A divorcing couple remembers the best years of their lives.
