A first love story in a Sanatorium

Manolo & Jesus were brought by brother Pepe to a tuberculosis children's sanatorium near Portugal. Inside, Manolo felt dominant as he was surrounded by younger boys. He met Irene (Falangist), Transito (crabby spinster teacher), and Vicenta (his first sexual experience). When Vicenta left, Maria Jesus took her place & they fell deeply in love; a bond that would mark them both forever.
