A Love to Keep

Set in Spain during the dictatorship of Franco, the story follows two female teachers who are in love. In that era and under that regime, their relationship is not only forbidden but also criminalized. To prevent their child from being imprisoned, the parents of one of the teachers force her into a mental institution, where she suffers severe abuse, primarily through electroshock treatments. After Franco's death and the subsequent political changes, she is released and returns home under her mother's watchful eye. Her father, showing more compassion, helps her escape to reunite with her lover. However, the years of electroshock therapy have left lasting damage to her health, making it difficult for her to live a normal life.
