Meanwhile, Viñolas has learned that Artiguez's mother ( Mildred Dunnock) is dying, and sets a trap at the hospital in San Martín to capture Artiguez, presuming that he will come to see his mother. Paco lets Artiguez know that his father was killed because he wouldn't tell the police where to find Artiguez, whom Viñolas must capture if he is to retain his rank in the Guard. Paco tells Artiguez that he wants him to kill Viñolas ( Anthony Quinn), a Guardia Civil officer, for killing his father. Pedro sends Paco into France to find his uncle and Artiguez. The story returns twenty years later, to a young boy named Paco (Carlo Angeletti), who asks a man named Pedro ( Paolo Stoppa) why Artiguez, who is legendary for his fierce resistance to Franco even after the defeat of the Republicans, has stopped his guerrilla raids against the Francoists in Spain. His friends stop him, saying "Manuel, the war is over!". Republican guerrilla fighter Manuel Artiguez ( Gregory Peck) turns away from the border and back towards Spain. The movie opens with shots from the Spanish Civil War, and a line of Spanish refugees crossing the border into France after defeat by the Francoists.
