Elisa Crehuet

Dans les années suivant la guerre civile d’Espagne, marquées par la violence et la misère, un mystérieux meurtre vient secouer les secrets enfouis d’un petit village de Catalogne. Andreu, jeune garçon dont le père est injustement accusé du crime, pénètre dès lors un monde d’adultes fait de vices et de mensonges…

Barcelona, 1983. Agustí Martorell is a left-wing lawyer, atheist and former anti-Franco fighter, who discovers that his 15-year-old daughter Esther, influenced by the optional religion classes of Mossèn Parcerisas, a progressive priest and post-councillor, has converted to Catholicism and was secretly baptized.

Ariadna discovers that her grandfather has been searching for the remains of his father, who disappeared during the Civil War. Determined to help him, she travels to Burgos, where a mass grave is being excavated, and where he could be buried. During her stay there, she will learn the story of Antoni Benaiges, a young teacher from Tarragona who was her grandfather's teacher before the war. Through an innovative pedagogical method, Antoni inspired his students and made them a promise: to take them to see the sea.
