Los milagros prohibidos

Agustín Santos wanders through the mountains of La Palma with a revolver that he does not want to use. Among his pursuers is Floro the Ferret, a suitor rejected by Agustín's wife, who has the perfect opportunity to get rid of his rival. Meanwhile, in the capital of the island, Emilia barely maintains the hope that her husband manages to get to safety, more and more convinced that only a miracle could make something similar come true. But in the winter of 1936 the fascists seem to have banned everything...even miracles.

Los milagros prohibidos is the story of a love triangle and the unequal duel between two men, at the same time as a deep reflection on justice and a heartfelt tribute to the memory of the protagonists of Red Week on La Palma, a decisive event for the course of the Civil War in the Canary Islands.
