A LOVE TO KEEP tells the story of Pilar and Elvira, two teachers in Spain during the waning years of the Franco era. They meet and become friends, and soon fall deeply in love. But their blissful time together ends when Pilar's family find out about their relationship, and they have Pilar committed to an asylum. There, she endures painful years of mistreatment and isolation. All the while, Elvira searches relentlessly for her, never giving up hope that they will one day be together again. Upon Pilar's release, the two reunite, but the memories of Pilar's ordeal will not quickly fade, and the scars again test their bond.
In Spanish, with English subtitles.
