Synopsis:

In the post Spanish civil war years, Catalan kids would sit in circles among the ruins and tell stories, known as "aventis". These tales mix war stories, local gossip, comic book characters, fantasy and real events.
In the mid 80s, a doctor and a nurse-nun who grew up together and now are co-workers in a hospital, identify the corpse of a childhood friend. This discovery leads them to remember those years when used to tell "aventis".

Based on the novel by Juan Marsé.
