With unrest brewing, four young women from different backgrounds and social classes forge a close friendship at the famous Casa de Las Carolinas in Santander: Gloria and Laura, nurses who feel powerless to battle so much pain and injustice; Susana, a cook who prefers to stay in the background but must rise to new challenges; and Ana, a law student who turns to journalism to denounce abuses against the working class.
