In the post Spanish civil war years, Catalan kids would sit in circles among the ruins and tell "aventis," stories without beginning or end. These tales mixed war stories, local gossip, comic book characters, fantasy and real events.

The "aventis" told in this film are told in flashbacks which chronicle the Civil War in Barcelona. In the mid 80s, 45 or so years after Franco, a doctor and a nurse-nun who were childhood friends and now coworkers, identify the corpse of one of the main characters of the "aventis" of their childhood and adolescence. The discovery of this body (belonging to someone long presumed dead) leads to other surprises and unresolved doubts, several decades later.
