Líneas de fuga

The years are turbulent for everyone, but the weapons to defend oneself are different. Klaus and Erika, children of Nobel Prize Winner Thomas Mann (1929), are famous and influential throughout the world, writing for magazines and newspapers. But when they return from a ski trip, they find Munich smeared with swastikas. The year is 1933, and the exile begins. A few years later, forced to return to Villa Poschi to look for the desk in which their father hides some diaries that put the family's survival at stake, the two brothers will take advantage of the trip to venture into Spain. The Civil War has already broken out and, with a Europe in political and social turmoil, they are convinced that the Spanish catastrophe is the prelude to a hopeless future. One night, philosophy student Hannah Arendt crosses the border into Czechoslovakia on foot. Jews like her, persecuted by the regime, must flee while they can. She then begins a European journey that takes her to Paris, from where she will collaborate with refugee organizations. In 1940, the city has been invaded by the Nazis. Sent to a concentration camp, she manages to escape from it, and she too will cross a Spain where the scars of the civil war still bleed.
