Set during the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath, Song of the Reapers follows four young people as they experience a country and a generation torn apart by war. Jack is a man yearning to break free of his restrictive father. Will joining a radical political party and leaving home to fight abroad be enough? Maria Angeles is hoping to bring about the changes she believes Spain needs, but her home life may derail her career aspirations. Javier is caught up in a movement he doesn't fully understand and is in love with a woman he can't have. How much is he willing to give up to fight? Pilar is struggling to support her growing family. Can she live with the choices she must make? All of them watch as everything they have ever known crumbles around them. Will they rise from the ashes reborn or be buried beneath?
