Sota l'ombra de la washingtònia
Bastida, Roger
Barcelona, 1920: according to statistics, the year with the most attacks against industrial employers in the context of gun violence. The Arboix family, owners of a remarkable textile colony, decide to retreat to the summer tower in L'Hospitalet to get away from the dangers of the big city. In this atmosphere full of family memories, Cecília, the girl of the house, will begin to investigate the secrets hidden in the mansion of her ancestors. A modernist palace, an exotic garden, a mystery to solve. A captivating evocation of a bygone era and a striking reflection on the weight of the surname. A brave and necessary play of mirrors between two dark episodes linked to the Catalan bourgeoisie: the gun violence of the early twenties and the Atlantic slave trade.
