A sweeping epic saga about the Spanish Civil War -- the Spanish DR ZHIVAGO.

What can happen to the neighbors of an ordinary neighborhood in these difficult times? How do couples and individuals, parents and children, young and old, withstand the onslaught of a crisis that threatens to turn everything upside down? "Los besos en el pan" tells, in a subtle and moving way, the story of a family returning from vacation determined to maintain their routine, alongside a recently divorced man heard sobbing behind a wall, a grandmother who puts up the Christmas tree early to cheer her family, and a woman who decides to reinvent herself and return to the countryside to live off the land that nourished her ancestors. In the hair salon, the bar, the offices, or the health center, many neighbors, protagonists of this delicate collective novel, will experience bittersweet moments of unexpected solidarity, indignation, and anger, but also tenderness and perseverance. They will learn why their grandparents taught them, as children, to kiss the bread.
