Synopsis
The film focuses on Lluís de Serracant, a lawyer coming from a bourgeois family from Catalonia. He lives in the 1920s Barcelona, living a "normal" life during the day as a lawyer who defends the rights and interests of the trade unionists. He's actually homosexual, and at night, he drags and works as a transvestite in a small cabaret, using the name 'Flower of Autumn'. He also has an anarchist boyfriend whom he shares his ideals with and with whom, alongside another friend of theirs, they'll plan a terrorist attack against the train in which the dictator Primo de Rivera is travelling. As they plan it, buying the explosives they are going to use on the bridge, one of the singers from the cabaret dies, and every suspicion will fall upon Lluís.

Even though it has an excessive schematism in the portrait of its characters and situations, its results have certain elegance.
