Riña de gatos. Madrid 1936

An Englishman named Anthony Whitelands arrives by train in the turbulent Madrid of spring 1936. He is tasked with authenticating an unknown painting, belonging to a friend of José Antonio Primo de Rivera, whose economic value could prove decisive in bringing about a crucial political shift in Spanish history. Turbulent love affairs with women from different social classes distract the art critic, leaving him no time to realize how his pursuers are multiplying: police, diplomats, politicians, and spies, in an atmosphere of conspiracy and unrest.
