Synopsis "La Diosa de las Pequenas Victorias"

"El destino de un genio que no sabía vivir y de una mujer que solo sabía amar. Universidad de Princeton, 1980. La joven documentalista Anna Roth emprende una ambiciosa tarea: recuperar los archivos de Kurt Gödel, el matemático más fascinante y hermético del siglo xx. Su misión consiste en ganarse la confianza de la viuda de Gödel, Adele, una anciana muy peculiar, reacia a entregar esos documentos de gran valor científico. Tras su primer encuentro, Adele establece sus reglas. Sabe que su muerte está próxima y tiene una historia que contar, un relato que nadie ha escuchado hasta entonces. De la Viena de los años treinta al Princeton de posguerra, de la Segunda Guerra Mundial al macartismo, del fin del ideal positivista a la llegada del arma nuclear, Anna se rinde a los encantos de una mujer que vivió confrontada a la difícil ecuación entre genio y amor, y que le proporcionará el valor necesario para cambiar su propia vida. English Description The destiny of a genius who didn?t know how to live and a woman who only knew how to love. Princeton University, 1980. Young documentalist Anna Roth takes on an ambitious project: recovering the files of Kurt Gödel, the most fascinating and secretive mathematician of the 20th century. Her mission consists of gaining the trust of Gödel?s widow, Adele, a peculiar old woman who is reluctant to grant anyone access to the highly valuable scientific documents. After their first meeting, Adele establishes the rules. She knows that her death is imminent and she has a story to tell, a tale that nobody has heard until now. From the Vienna of the '30s to post-war Princeton, from World War II to McCarthyism, from the end of the positivist ideal to the arrival of nuclear weapons, Anna gives in to the charms of a woman who lived her life confronted with the difficult balance between genius and love, and who gives her the strength necessary to change her own life.
