Description

Books will always be a refuge.

Madrid, 1934. The winds of change are blowing in the Spain of the Second Republic when Bárbara, a young German woman who managed to flee Berlin after the victory of the Nazi Party in the elections, opens a small bookstore.

This becomes a place to dream of a free and hopeful future, but the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War threatens to destroy everything Bárbara has built. It will be her love for letters and for a young Republican that keeps her clinging to a country that faces a spiral of hatred and terror that she knows all too well and that will force her to fight for her life once again.
