一个炎热的中午，在马德里的一个普通的住宅小区里，一辆电信工程车开了进来，下来四个人，抬下一个普通的单人电话亭，然后把它安装在操场的中央，工程车缓缓离开，过了一会，一个中年男子急匆匆走来，忽然看到了新装的电话亭，于是走进电话亭，开始拨电话，这时候电话亭的门渐渐关闭。打了 很久可能是没人接，于是他放下电话，正欲离开，却发现门无论如何都无法打开。围观的群众开始帮忙，但是无论用什么方法，都无法打开这个电话亭。其实，这些人只是在看热闹，随着开门工作一筹莫展，人们渐渐离去。而里面的他彻底绝望了，但这没有结束，更可怕的事件等待着他。

Based on a novel by one of the greater Spanish writers of the 20th century (Miguel Delibes), "La Guerra de Papá" (Dad's War) tells the story of a typical day for a 3-year-old boy in 1964. The little boy, played by Lolo García, spends his day running around playing with his 5-year-old brother and interacting with the adults in the household (mother, servants...). Through his innocent eyes we see a portrait of Spanish society in the 60's (with its many conflicts and contradictions). The film is also a very good character study of the adults and of the boy himself, who feels jealous because he is no longer the youngest child in the house, since he has a 1-year-old sister.
