Overview
Un castillo. Una familia. Un misterio que puede cambiar la historia.
1940. Stasia Niemec siempre se sintió feliz en la idílica campiña francesa, a donde viajaba cada verano desde Holanda en compañía de su familia. Aquellos días, jugando en los jardines de un viejo castillo en Ruan y escribiendo cuentos de hadas, la marcaron para siempre. Pero ese tiempo de inocencia llega a su fin cuando los alemanes invaden su país. En medio del caos de la guerra, pronto se convierte en una de las agentes de la Resistencia más buscadas por los alemanes y comprende que el único lugar donde puede estar a salvo es en el castillo de Ruan, el cual se vuelve el centro de una operación clandestina contra el enemigo.
Setenta años después, Isabelle se propone remodelar el castillo en ruinas, lo que se transforma en una oportunidad inesperada para reconectar con su hermana Emilie, de quien se había distanciado tras la muerte de sus padres. Mientras trabajan en la restauración, los rincones evocan los relatos que su bisabuela Stasia solía contarles en su infancia. Así, poco a poco, las hermanas descubrirán que las historias que creían ficticias esconden un conmovedor testimonio de valentía que transformará para siempre la manera de entender su pasado familiar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A castle. A family. A mystery that could change history.
1940. Stasia Niemec always felt happy in the idyllic French countryside, where she traveled every summer from Holland with her family. Those days, playing in the gardens of an old castle in Rouen and writing fairy tales, marked her forever. But that time of innocence comes to an end when the Germans invade her country. Amid the chaos of war, she soon becomes one of the most wanted agents of the Resistance and realizes that the only place she can be safe is the castle in Rouen, which becomes the center of a clandestine operation against the enemy.
Seventy years later, Isabelle sets out to renovate the ruined castle, which turns into an unexpected opportunity to reconnect with her sister Emilie, from whom she had grown distant after the death of their parents. As they work on the restoration, the corners of the castle evoke the stories their great-grandmother Stasia used to tell them in childhood. Gradually, the sisters discover that the tales they thought were fictional hide a moving testimony of courage that will forever change the way they understand their family’s past.
