The film is set in Spain in 1918. Loli is a young woman who has recently reached marriageable age. Her mother believes that she should find a husband soon and considers the beach at Lindamar, popular among the upper class at the time, to be an appropriate place for this purpose. They travel to the coast with this objective. The mother hopes that an engineer they know will show interest in Loli. However, Loli is in love with Enrique, a student from a modest background who has recently failed his June exams.
