After the establishment of the Republic in 1931, the Marquis of Lloberola (Pep Cruz) died and left his two sons, Frederic (Francesc Garrido) and Guillem (Pablo Derqui), without any financial resources.

Maria Lluïsa (Diana Gómez), daughter of Frederic and niece of Guillem, is against the family imposition of a marriage of convenience and is committed to working to become independent.
