The Plot
The story kicks off when the Republicans discover that the Nationalists (the "Falange") are celebrating a local festival in a nearby village. The centerpiece of this celebration is a vaquilla (a heifer/young cow) that is being kept in a shed, awaiting a bullfighting spectacle. The Republicans also learn that the local convent is inhabited by young, attractive nuns.
Act 2: The Nationalist Patrol Unbeknownst to the Republicans, a small patrol of Nationalist (Francoist) soldiers, led by a bumbling and cynical officer named Brigada Castro, crosses the front lines to scout the town. They get lost, their vehicle breaks down, and they end up trapped inside the very town where the heifer has just been stolen. la vaquilla subtitles
