The film tells the tragic story of British noblewoman Fanny Horn (Edit Szalay) and Jesuit priest Eredia (Jan Englert) against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War.

Fanny follows Eredia to a typhus outbreak at a camp near Pena Ronda. The conditions at the camp are appalling and deteriorate sharply as the civil war begins. Fanny gradually becomes increasingly desparate with the fanatic and inhumane behaviour of Eredia, who turns out to be deeply involved in the plotting of the anti-republican side in the civil war. As she eventually witnesses Eredia's fanaticism take several human victims, Fanny shoots him. Her psychological breakdown has led her to begin taking morphine, which will eventually lead to her own demise.
