The boys suspected of suffering
from tuberculosis are sent to a sanatorium on the Portuguese
border. During his stay, Manolo, the older of two brothers, will be
subject to a sexual awakening as his nurse allows him to look while
she undresses every night. Manolo's first look at a naked woman
will soon lead to a first caress and it will not take long for his
first love to blossom.
