At the dawn of Spanish Civil War, circa 1931, a group of children, insensitive to pain, is locked in a sanatorioum in the heart of the Pyrenees. Current days, David Martel, brilliant neurosurgeon, discovers that he has a tumour and starts searching for his biological parents to get a bone marrow transplant necessary for his survival. During his quest, David will exhume terrifying secrets about his origins, reanimate ghosts of his country and confront Berkano, only fateful survivor of the insensitive children.
