Summary: From case cover: Finales del invierno de 1936. En un pequeño pueblo gallego, Moncho, un niño de ocho años, se incorpora a la escuela tras una larga enfermedad. A partir de ese momento comienza su apredizaje del saber y de la vida de mano de su amigo Roque y de su peculiar maestro (Fernando Fernán-Gómez) que les inculca conocimientos tan variados como el origen de la patata o la necesidad de que las lenguas de las mariposas tengan forma de espiral. El 18 de julio todo se romperá. En este nuevo marco, los valores y principios inculcados quedarán relegados y la relación entre aprendiz y maestro se verá truncada. From IMDb: For Moncho, it's an idyllic year: he starts school, he has a wonderful teacher, he makes a friend in Roque, he begins to figure out some of the mysteries of Eros, and, with his older brother, a budding saxophone player, he makes a trip with the band from their town in Galicia. But it's also the year that the Spanish Republic comes under fire from Fascist rebels. Moncho's father is a Republican as is the aging teacher, Don Gregorio. As sides are drawn and power falls clearly to one side, the forces of fear, violence, and betrayal alter profoundly what should be the pleasure of coming of age.
