Virtudes and Carmen, two young idealistic Republican militants, encourage their neighbors to keep faith in the cause of the Second Republic. However, the entry of Franco’s Nationalist troops into the city is imminent. Fearing bloody repression, many Republicans flee the country, while others are either unable or unwilling to do so. Julia, a tram conductor, and her friend Adelina, a Red Cross worker, are also active sympathizers of the Spanish Republic. While spending an evening in a nightclub watching musicians perform, one of the last bombings of the city occurs. In these dire circumstances, they befriend Blanca, whose husband, Enrique, is the band leader. The victory of the Nationalists marks a dark turning point for Republican sympathizers. Canepa, a musician in Enrique’s band and a Republican militant, fears for his life and decides to escape the country. Blanca secretly provides him with money for his escape. Julia, meanwhile, starts a relationship with Perico, a young Nationalist soldier. Rumors circulate about a plot to assassinate Franco upon his victorious entry, prompting the Nationalists to seek revenge. Although the young women have no involvement in the plot, they become targets due to their leftist activities. Julia is the first arrested, brutally tortured by Fontenla, the cold-hearted officer leading the interrogations. Adelina, Virtudes’ co-worker and a member of a socialist group, is turned in by her well-meaning father, who naively believes she is only wanted for questioning and will not face serious consequences. Canepa and Teo are betrayed by friends and neighbors, leading to their arrest and torture. Canepa dies by suicide in custody. Teo, however, is released on the condition that he secretly assists authorities in capturing other Republican sympathizers. With Teo’s coerced assistance, the young women are arrested one by one until all are imprisoned. Only Carmen, the youngest, realizes Teo’s betrayal before she too is arrested. Blanca shares their fate; her crime is giving Canepa money. After enduring harsh interrogations, the group of young women is transferred to an overcrowded prison. In jail, the reunion of the girls provides some solace amid their harsh circumstances. At one point, they even find a moment of joy in tap dancing. Their families, including Adelina’s grief-stricken father, remain hopeful for their eventual release. Blanca remains tormented by worry for her young son, whom she had to leave behind. Her dignified demeanor earns the respect of the prison warden. The situation worsens when the imprisoned women protest the terrible sanitary conditions affecting the children held with their mothers. They collectively refuse to sing praises to the Franco regime, further angering their captors. The fate of the 13 young women is sealed when two military officers and an innocent woman are killed by leftist militants. As retribution, the regime orders the execution of some prisoners, despite their lack of involvement in the incident. A military court condemns 48 men and 13 women to death within 48 hours. Carmen, the youngest, is the sole survivor. Devastated, she listens to the gunshots that kill her friends. The film’s final frame asserts that most of its content is verified by historical documentation, and that the script relies heavily on actual dialogue and writings from the central characters.

Reception Critical response Jonathan Holland of Variety praised the cinematography and art direction, but remarked: "The 13 Roses largely withers on the vine. [The film] is further let down by its psychological superficiality... an uncertain treatment which convinces neither historically nor dramatically".Variety Jonathan Holland https://variety.com/2007/film/awards/13-roses-1200554926/ 13 Roses 31 October 2007 28 December 2024 Academic analysis by David Rodríguez-Solás discusses the film’s portrayal of victimization, suggesting that it employs melodramatic elements that may impede critical reflection on historical events.Rodríguez-Solás David September 2016 ‘I haven’t done anything wrong!’ Melodrama and victimization in Las 13 rosas/13 Roses (2007) and La voz dormida/The Sleeping Voice (2011) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308391303_'I_haven't_done_anything_wrong'_Melodrama_and_victimization_in_Las_13_rosas13_Roses_2007_and_La_voz_dormidaThe_Sleeping_Voice_2011 Studies in Spanish & Latin-American Cinemas 13 3 303-317 ResearchGate Accolades 5 |- | rowspan = "18" align = "center" | 2008 || rowspan = "14" | 22nd Goya Awards || colspan = "2" | Best Film || || rowspan = "14" | https://www.premiosgoya.com/pelicula/las-13-rosas/ 20 April 2022 Las 13 Rosas premiosgoya.com |- | Best Director || Emilio Martínez Lázaro || |- | Best Original Screenplay || Ignacio Martínez de Pisón || |- | Best Supporting Actor || José Manuel Cervino || |- | Best New Actress || Nadia de Santiago || |- | Best Original Score || Roque Baños || |- | Best Production Supervision || Martín Cabañas || |- | Best Cinematography || José Luis Alcaine || |- | Best Editing || Fernando Pardo || |- | Best Art Direction || Edou Hydallgo || |- | Best Costume Design || Lena Mossum || |- | Best Makeup and Hairstyles || Almudena Fonseca, José Juez, Mariló Osuna || |- | Best Sound || Alfonso Pino, Carlos Bonmatí, Carlos Faruolo || |- | Best || Carlos Lozano, Pau Costa, Raúl Romanillos || |- | rowspan = "4" | 17th Actors and Actresses Union Awards || Best Film Actress in a Secondary Role || Marta Etura || || rowspan = "4" | https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/335489/0/nominaciones/union/actores/ 20minutos.es 'Las 13 rosas' y las series TVE, favoritas en los premios de la Unión de Actores 18 January 2008 16 November 2021 eshttps://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2008/03/31/cultura/1206998666.html/ El Mundo La saga Bardem triunfa en los premios de la Unión de Actores 1 April 2008 16 November 2021 es |- | rowspan = "2" | Best Film Actress in a Minor Role || Nadia de Santiago || |- | María Isasi || |- | Best Film Actor in a Minor Role || José Manuel Cervino || |} References Bibliography Mary Farrelly (2021) A work of death: martyrdom, myth and dead women in contemporary Spanish film, Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, 22:1, 77–93, DOI: 10.1080/14636204.2021.1880785 Larson, Kajsa C. 2012. “Remembering the Thirteen Roses: Blurring Fact and Fiction.” Nomenclatura: Aproximaciones a Los Estudios Hispánicos 2: 1–21. doi:10.13023/naeh.2012.08.
