Barcelona, November 1935. The Republic is in a compulsive heyday. Federico Garcia Lorca visit the city, the mythical Paral·lel has not yet entered in decline and the places of the so-called Barrio Chino enjoy such fame that they appear in the press international and are frequented both by workers as by bourgeois and aristocrats from all over Europe, hungry for emotions. And in this environment, Tomás, a deserving young man in a textile workshop in Poblenou neighborhood that has earned the title of “Manchester Catalan”, and Basilio, seasoned and eternal aspirant to professional boxer, who earns his living with more diverse jobs, coincide, know each other and live a story told from his own voice, the voice of common people: the workers who broke their backs from sunrise to sunset for a meager salary.

This is not a story about a gentleman who gives give rein to his “weakness” with an inferior, nor a chronicle of the lumpen and the underworld, although both appear. It is the story of simple people who they lived their feelings as best they could in a time when his love was not a crime, but not it was socially accepted, all long before that words such as gay, queer or LGTBI, without knowing that months later, everything was going to change... for the worse.
