In the midst of the Spanish Revolution and Spanish Civil War in Barcelona, anarchist militia women Pilar and Floren are joined by former prostitute Charo and former nun Maria. The film opens with scenes of working class militants burning religious icons, and recovering the wealth hoarded by the church, as they shout "long live the libertarian revolution!"
Especially interesting is the transformation that occurs in Maria, who goes from being a prude nun to be a libertarian woman who fights for true and freedom. That happens thanks to the two women who protect and teach her: the lesbian soldier Pilar, and the lame librarian Floren.
While fully immersed in the overall enthusiasm of revolutionary Spain, this intimate group of women find themselves fighting against deep gender inequality which complicates their efforts in the war against Francisco Franco's Fascist forces. They encounter resistance even within their own "Free Women" (Mujeres Libres) organization as one woman (that resembles Federica Montseny) tries to persuade them to stay and work in defense factories, while men try to convince them to go work as cooks, not front-line soldiers.
IMDB
Awards and nominations
This film, an impressive epic about the Spanish Civil War, focuses on the roles of women in the conflict. Thus, the title which translates to "Female Libertarians." This is probably the definitive film on the subject, with all its flaws. Some critics may see the film as "overkill" since it features extreme examples of female suffering, as well as extreme characterizations of the female center and left-wing fighters in the war. The characters include bourgeois women, working class girls, anarchists, and even a nun. The cast is a who's who of female actresses of Spanish Cinema in the 90's. But, considering the horrors and excesses of the war itself, whether the film can be excessive at all, is an open question. Very worth-while watching, and a must for those who follow Spanish Cinema or 20th century History.User Review on imdb.com
