Synopsis: Through “La Marinera” we are sailing towards the harshest period of the recent historical past of this country: the Civil War and early postwar years. This is a tvmovie that allows us, first, to witness the terrors of 1936 and following and the unfulfilled hopes of so many people at the outbreak of war, so many times treated in history books, facts and misfortunes that we all, directly or indirectly know of. On the other hand, it takes us to a particular series of adventure, love, injustice, guided by the courage of a woman in a Galician fishing town in Carnota. Specifically, in the area of Pindo, in Quilmas, among the landscape of the rose-coloured mountain and the calm sea, we are witnesses of the customs of the period and area.
