Huelva, the Spanish Casablanca
World War II has just broken out. Although Spain is neutral, Huelva is a strategic enclave to control the ships of both sides that cross the strait. In addition, it has an important British colony. For this reason, the Germans send members of the Secret Service to control what happens in the city, especially in the mines in the province of Huelva, owned by the English, and which provide Great Britain with ore for weapons and artillery.
In this way, Huelva becomes the Spanish Casablanca, a true nest of spies from both sidesamong whom the young woman is forced to move Lucy. She has just turned 25 and has been hired by an English mining company to work in their offices as a secretary.
There he meets the manager of the company, Peter, an attractive Englishman with a dark past who drags Lucía into an adventure in which she will be forced to take sides. When you’re in the middle of a war, being neutral is not an option.
