In France, Karmele is contacted by the Basque cultural embassy in exile, whose aim is to fight the war using music and dance. As a result, she meets a professional trumpet player. The two fall in love and build a family, while navigating the tensions between loyalty, love, the personal and the political. After living for some time in Venezuela, the couple return home to fight the dictatorship, with the hope of recovering the home that was taken from them.
