En algun lloc de l'Espanya dels anys 30, una dona soltera, Inés, amaga tancades a casa les seves dues filles, Águeda i Rosita: pel bé de totes tres, ningú ha de saber que existeixen. En aquest univers secret, les filles s'alimenten voraçment de la fantasia, lliurades a un bell ball oniric entre el real i l'irreal. Una nit, el desti d'Ines es troba amb el de Clavel de Lluna, una enlluernadora travesti cabaretera amb la qual rapidament connecta: en la clandestinitat que ambdues comparteixen sorgeix una amistat poderosa que es converteix en un eix de resistencia i que desafia una realitat asfixiant i opressiva.Amb un intel·ligent lirisme i una profunda mirada poetica, en la qual el terror i la fantasia vehiculen les vides, Alberto Martin Curto obre una finestra a un tros d'aquesta altra historia d'Espanya que no apareix en els llibres de text: la historia de totes aquelles dones i persones dissidents que en la nit, en l'art i en la resistencia van trobar la seva bandera per a la llibertat.
