After the Civil War, Leonor's husband, a Republican leader, has been executed, and in the summer of 1940 she and her daughter Camila are banished to Cabrera, a near-empty island off Mallorca. Their neighbours are a couple who keep a poor tavern, some fishermen, a German recluse and soldiers nervously watching for the British. Over on Mallorca, a man who buys official forgiveness by doing ugly work is told to go to Cabrera and kill a German agent hiding there.
