Hildegart is conceived and raised by her mother, Aurora, to be the woman of the future, becoming one of the most brilliant minds in 1930s Spain and a European authority on female sexuality. At 18, Hildegart begins to experience freedom and meets Abel Velilla, who helps her explore a new emotional world and break away from her mother’s strict control.
