Summary:
A family saga marked by a story of impossible love, beautifully set in Spain and France in the Second World War and narrated with great sensitivity. April 1945. Andreu Ribera, freed from Dachau concentration camp, has only one purpose: to get to Paris and get news of Rosa, his wife. There, in the hotel Lutetia, the Red Cross assists the deportees and organizes all the information reaching the capital: endless relations of dead, of disappeared and, the most anticipated, of survivors. July 1969. André, son of Andreu, travels to the Poble-Sec in Barcelona in search of answers. From the lips of his grandfather Andrew, you will learn about the murky secrets of the family. A moving story that will take us to the Paris-liberated French province and from there to the Francoist Spain. Some unforgettable characters, obstinate in the struggle to rebuild their lives and marked by the memory of the endless morning of desperate waiting at the hotel Lutetia ... And a family member and persistent smell of lavender.
Una saga familiar marcada por una historia de amor imposible, magníficamente ambientada en la España y Francia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y narrada con una gran sensibilidad. Abril de 1945. Andreu Ribera, liberado del campo de concentración de Dachau, solo tiene un propósito: llegar a París y conseguir noticias de Rosa, su mujer. Allí, en el hotel Lutecia, la Cruz Roja asiste a los deportados y organiza cuanta información llega a la capital: interminables relaciones de muertos, de desaparecidos y, las más esperadas, de supervivientes. Julio de 1969. André, hijo de Andreu, viaja hasta el Poble Sec en busca de respuestas. De labios de su abuelo Andrés conocerá los turbios secretos de la familia Ribera. Una conmovedora historia que nos llevará del París liberado a la Provenza francesa y de allí a la España franquista. Unos personajes inolvidables, obstinados en la lucha por rehacer sus vidas y marcados por el recuerdo de las interminables mañanas de angustiosa espera en el hotel Lutecia ... Y un familiar y persistente olor a lavanda.
