Cuarteto de la guerra tells the story of four men who fight for their lives and their music when totalitarianism and war horror ravage Europe. New York, Berlin, Munich, Moscow, Barcelona and Los Angeles are the settings where the epic confrontation of four great composers with the political power of their time takes place, to prevent their work from being subdued, directed and used, while trying to desperately the survival of the beings they love. Cuarteto de la guerra also reflects on music as revelation and wisdom, as an echo of the intangible, as a direct impulse to the depths of the soul, on the dialogue between man and the invisible and, finally, on the meaning of our life. own existence. In the second volume of the tetralogy, No One Will Get to Know Each Other, Richard Strauss, considered the greatest composer of his time, decides to remain in Nazi Germany and accept the presidency of the Reich Chamber of Music in order to protect his family - his daughter-in-law and her two grandchildren are Jewish-, ensure the premiere of her opera The Silent Woman, whose libretto has been written by the Jew Stefan Zweig, and promote German culture. Controversial decision that will make him appear in the eyes of the world as a collaborator and be subjected, at the end of the war, to a denazification process that will last more than three years.
