La buena nueva

Miguel is appointed parish priest of a socialist village coinciding with the uprising of 1936. From the beginning of the war, the national side occupies the town and soon the executions follow one after the other. In his struggle to defend the reprisals, Miguel confronts the ecclesiastical and military hierarchy, putting his own life at stake. The young priest finds refuge in his friendship with the village teacher, whose husband was killed at the beginning of the conflict. The relationship with Margari is the counterpoint to the disenchantment of the young priest and his only support on a road he must travel alone.
