What seems to be the story of a promising young artist, Tito Lombana, and that of his romance with an intelligent and liberal Italian, begins to dress in shadows. Why the most famous work of Lombana, "The old shoes" (in Cartagena), is not accredited to his name? What is the reason for the taboo that covers it in your own family? The granddaughter of the artist explores the life of his grandfather without sparing himself uncomfortable questions.

It is the year of grace of 1950. Ignacio (11) is celebrating his First Communion, a step that, according to catholics, puts him closer to God and opens up a space for him in the believers community. Communion implies, he will have enough grace to go to Paradise one day. It is also the day he is declared as a “conscious” person. However, from long time before, his tutor, sister Josefa, and the priest of the church, have said terrible things about his dead father, a communist that by now, as they say, should be burning in hell’s fire.
