Beautiful and headstrong, Irene BeltrÃ¡n works as a magazine journalistâ€”a profession that belies her privileged upbringing and her engagement to an army captain. Her investigative partner is photographer Francisco Leal, the son of impoverished Spanish Marxist Ã©migrÃ©s. Together, they form an unlikely but inseparable teamâ€”and Francisco quickly falls in love with the fierce and loyal Irene. When an assignment leads them to a young girl whom locals believe to possess miraculous powers, they uncover an unspeakable crime perpetrated by an oppressive regime. Determined to reveal the truth in a nation overrun by terror and violence, each will risk everything to find justiceâ€”and, ultimately, to embrace the passion and fervor that binds them.,Profoundly moving and ultimately uplifting, ,Of Love and Shadows, is a tale of romance, bravery, and tragedy, set against the indelible backdrop of a country ruled with an iron fistâ€”and peopled with those who dare to challenge it.
