Los refugiados españoles en la República Dominicana tuvieron enseguida dificultades con el dictador Trujillo y su policía política: apenas seis meses después de llegar, el régimen de Trujillo tuvo que afrontar huelgas por primera vez y una oposición abierta contra la dictadura.Estamos en 1940. En una isla del Caribe (que Marina, convertida en la esposa de diplomático, prefiere no mencionar), dos refugiados españoles, María y Marcos, viven un emotivo reencuentro amoroso. El fondo, sin embargo, es muy sombrío: en la Segunda Guerra Mundial se produce la derrota de Francia, que para ellos se añade desesperadamente a la de la República española. Aún más sombría es la situación de la isla, bajo la dictadura de un autoproclamado Benefactor de la Patria, la megalomanía delirante del cual logra a menudo dimensiones surrealistas.
