Antonio es un torero atractivo y desencantado. Miembro de una familia aristócrata. Juan es un campesino joven y lleno de vida. Y, a finales de los 60, en plena dictadura franquista, a un hombre le puede costar muy caro enamorarse de otro. Pero, cuando Juan y Antonio descubren sus sentimientos, ni la familia, ni la Iglesia, ni el régimen de Franco se lo van a poner fácil. Sólo dos personas conocen el peligroso secreto: la intrépida hermana gemela de Antonio y la hermosa muchacha con la que su familia quiere que se case.
