The War Is Over

Diego (Yves Montand) is a leftist revolutionary at the height of Franco's fascist regime in Spain. Though he has dedicated his life to political activism, a new wave of younger revolutionaries threatens to take his place. Diego constantly travels from Paris, where his lover, Marianne (Ingrid Thulin), wants him to settle, to Madrid, where young revolutionaries are pushing for a violent political approach. He finds himself questioning the new direction that his political movement is taking.
