Lara is yet to turn fifteen and everything is already falling apart. It's a fight between life and death. A flare up of her illness has left her in the intensive care unit, spending the night that could be decisive alone. But Carmen, a doctor she's never seen before, is in the room, and she starts to tell her an exciting story, the story of life itself.
'Between Net Curtains' (Premio Nadal 1957) portrays the atmosphere, conservatism and hypocrisy beneath the surface of a Spanish provincial city in the middle of the previous century.
