The Lovers of Córdoba
Three pairs of secret lovers struggle to keep their relationships out of the public eye during the Franco regime, a time when gitanos and castellanos led segregated lives and same-sex love was forbidden. When one of the illicit affairs is discovered, the unraveling of the intertwined love triangles results in an unreported honor killing, a true event that inspired this story.
