1936. Dans une prison galicienne, peu après le coup d'État de Franco, un jeune peintre anarchiste dessine avec un crayon de charpentier le célèbre Porche de la Gloire de la cathédrale de Saint Jacques-de-Compostelle. Il prête aux différents personnages bibliques les gestes et le visage de ses camarades de captivité, tous condamnés à être assassinés lors d'une des sordides exécutions sommaires organisées par les fascistes. Le garde civil Herbal, chargé de surveiller les prisonniers politiques, suit en secret la progression du dessin et, le soir où, sur l'ordre de ses supérieurs, il tire une balle dans la tête de l'artiste, il ne peut s'empêcher de ramasser le crayon. Il est alors bien loin de se douter qu'à chaque fois qu'il le posera sur son oreille, celui-ci lui parlera avec la voix de la victime... Un petit chef-d'œuvre de finesse et de sensibilité qui s'élève tel un chant d'espoir au milieu des horreurs de la guerre.
