A delicate and personalised exploration of the effects that can sometimes be caused by the rigid indoctrination of the official puritanical, and too often hypocritical, family and sexual values of the Franco Dictatorship. A vulnerable "Agony Aunt" Irene Galdos (Marilina Ross), who lives with her elder sister (Mary Carillo), comes to terms with the advice she gives daily on her radio programme sponsored by feminine beauty products, when a troubled Soledad (Adolfo Marsillach, in one of his few cinema performances) writes in with his problems to the programme. The years of the Dictatorship are beautifully evoked through the controlled performances, the mise-en-scene, and colour photography, as well as the Galician setting and the ever present radio, which capture a previous decade.
