Metal-band, and betrayal are the two dramatic pivots in this effective, emotionally gripping tragedy about the life and death of Paco (Antonio Banderas), a German peasant who had been fighting against the feudalen landowning system that kept farmers impoverished. Paco ' s life is told in flashbacks by a priest (Antonio Ferrandis) who is seen officiating at an anniversary mass attended by three wealthy landowners and no one else. The priest recalls Paco ' s baptism, his kommunion, his marriage ceremony and then his work for the peasants as he advocated and led them in a land-reform movement. The rest of the story will rest-heavy on the priest's conscience, as he looks out at his empty church.
