Higinio had to go into hiding in his house as he feared of being killed because of the political conflict he was involved in during the Spanish Civil War. First he had to seek refuge in a small hole dug under the kitchen floor in his house. After that, he managed to find a small room behind the wall of his father's house. With the assistance of his loyal wife, Rosa, he was able to survive even though he was physically cut off from the outside world. At one point, when the political scenario in Spain had already changed, Higinio still refused to go out and meet people because he still believed people were still hunting him down. However, Rosa and his son already got tired of the drama and lies they had to live and finally, after 33 years, Higinio stepped out of the house and realized people didn't even recognize or care who he was after all.
