Overview
En el año 1937, durante la guerra civil, miles de niños españoles se embarcaron en un viaje sin billete de regreso hacia la URSS. Entre ellos se encuentra Mauricio, un hijo de minero con alma de poeta, que a través de sus versos trata de buscar la belleza de esa travesía. Y la encuentra en una chica acomodada de ciudad que sueña con estudiar medicina, Magdalena. Entre el vaivén de las olas y bajo un cielo estrellado, Mauricio y Magdalena descubrirán que incluso en el más puro de los horrores puede florecer el amor.
Veinte años más tarde, tras los estragos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Europa, Magdalena ha regresado a España y aún no ha podido olvidar a aquel poeta de ojos tristes que le regaló el mar, pero le robó el corazón.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A story of courage, resilience, love, and above all, what war takes away from childhood.
In 1937, during the Spanish civil war, thousands of Spanish children embarked on a journey with a one-way ticket to the USSR. Among them was Mauricio, a miner’s son with the soul of a poet, who seeked to find beauty in this journey through his verses. And he found it in Magdalena, a well-to-do city girl who dreamt of studying medicine. Amid the rocking waves and under a starry sky, Mauricio and Magdalena discover that love can bloom even in the darkest of horrors.
Twenty years later, after the devastation of World War II in Europe, Magdalena returned to Spain, but she has never been able to forget the sad-eyed poet that gave her the sea—and stole her heart.
