The young communist Artur Becker fights with the Interbrigades against the Franco putschists during the Spanish Civil War.

After an unsuccessful escape attempt, he was interrogated several times by Spanish and German putschists and then shot.

A mixture of “positive” characters from the beginning, the extensively staged “owl”, who is introduced as a criminal and over the course of time, especially due to the influence of the ABV, develops into a good citizen, and incorrigible characters, with whom the ABV fails with its extensive attempts at rehabilitation and who are arrested after having committed again offenses.
