Oh, Carmela!
During the Spanish Civil War, a group of comics lightens the days of the Republican troops. Tired of life in the front lines, they make their way to Valencia, accidentally entering enemy land and falling prisoner. Paulino and Carmela are husband-and-wife troubadours touring the countryside during the Spanish Civil War. They are Republicans, and with their mute assistant Gustavete they journey into rebel territory by mistake. They are arrested, fear a firing squad, and receive a reprieve from an Italian Fascist commander who loves the theatre. He arranges a performance for his troops, bargaining with Paulino to stage a burlesque of the republic in exchange for the actors' freedom. Will the fiery and patriotic Carmela consent? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>
