The Time in Between

Sira Quiroga is a young Spanish dressmaker engaged to a solid suitor when a suave typewriter salesman upends her life. Spain is being upended by a civil war and the new regime's growing alliances with Nazi Germany.

Sira gains and loses a small fortune, is dumped by her cad of a lover in Morocco, runs guns to get the cash to start her life anew and becomes couturier to the Nazi wives stationed in Madrid. Urged on by her friend, the real-life British spy Rosalinda Fox, Sira, too, aids the British cause.

Rosalinda

Actors and actresses rehearse William Shakespeare's play "As You Like It" in a theater: it tells the story of characters exiled in a beautiful forest, through their love stories, especially the one that unites Rosalinda with Orlando. Rosalinda is an active and lively woman who knows what she wants: the love of the noble but somewhat clumsy Orlando. To this end, she will disguise herself as a man and, together with her cousin Celia and the jester Petra, they will experience a series of adventures in the forest of Arden.
