Ramon Garcia, known as El Sarria, stalks the limestone crags of his native village like a wounded beast, his hands still stained from a desperate act of passion. The sun‑blazed streets of Sarria de la Plana echo with music and gossip as the once‑wealthy landowner becomes a hunted outlaw, forced to navigate the narrow alleys of his own reputation. With a trusty knife at his side and a long‑barreled gun tucked away, he teeters between the pride of a man who built a thriving estate and the shame of a crime that turned neighbor against neighbor.
Against this volatile backdrop, his young wife Dolóres clings to hope while the village’s housekeeper, the ever‑watchful Manuela, becomes an unexpected confidante. Local authorities, led by a relentless sergeant, close in, and whispers of vengeance stir among the townsfolk. As the twilight deepens, El Sarria must decide whether to flee deeper into the wilderness or confront the forces that now seek to undo everything he has built.
