Plot

In 1921, Morocco is being ravaged by the events of the Rif War. The Riffian resistance in the country has killed many soldiers of the Spanish Army and wounded many more. To succour them, Queen Victoria Eugenie sends a group of nurses from the Spanish Red Cross to Melilla to establish a new hospital. Led by the Duchess of Victoria, María del Carmen Angoloti y Mesa, the group is composed of young women from Spain's upper classes.

The nurses arrive in Melilla and set up a hospital in an old school building. Almost immediately, they are put into action. Yet, despite all the horrors of war that surround them, these nurses have not lost hope and still find romance with the soldiers and doctors who surround them.

In time, the military high command recognizes that more lives can be saved on the front lines before wounded soldiers are even brought back to the hospital. None of these nurses is combat trained, but some of them will now have to learn how to stay alive while serving on the front lines.
