Documentary on the participation of women in the Alarde parades of Irun and Hondarribia and the feelings and controversy triggered by that participation. The festivities lasting all day in both towns serve as the background for the story. The first part explains the Alarde since it first started, its history, its mise-en-scene, its composition and its characteristics. The second narrates the beginning of the conflict and how it developed in the early years, in the 90s. A third part talks about 2011 and 2012, reflecting on the present situation of the celebration and its future.
