The film tells the touching story of Alfredito, a sacristan in a country church: in a long flashback he talks about his life and his deep love for his mother and for the Virgin Mary, both 'beloved mothers' (madres amadísimas). From the discovery of his sexual identity to his first love, from his military service to his move to the big city, his personal experience traces the history of Spain, from Franco's dictatorship to the achievement of democracy. A baroque melodrama where the protagonist's homosexuality and religious belief together form a single devotion, passionate and unwavering.

Ángel is a personal trainer who, after taking a year off, has just landed a job at the most prestigious gym in the city, and life finally seems to be back on track. But everything changes when he begins to feel unwell, goes to the hospital, and receives shocking news: he’s pregnant. A trans man on the verge of completing his transition, Ángel is now confronted with a life-altering decision—one that will challenge his identity, his aspirations, and his very understanding of masculinity.
