With Peter Dyneley as Juan Braga and Martin Jarvis as Father Ramon
(Peter Dyneley is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company)

Juan Braga, a Spanish communist leader, waits in prison to be shot. His crime? Atrocities committed thirty years before during the Civil War. Father Ramon waits to see Braga, to help him make his peace with God. But Braga steadfastly refuses to see him... Until the last moment... What makes him do this? Is it fear? Or has he something else on his conscience?
