Erika is a Jewish woman born in Germany who now lives in Madrid. She is the director of a cadet residence and the central figure in the story. She is caught in a conflict between two residents: Adrian, who is preparing to enter the Spanish Army, and Khalil, a Syrian refugee training to enter drama school.”
