Synopsis "Una Copa de Tristeza con Hielo (in Spanish)"

In the hands of Catalina Garcí Olmedo- Miranda, President of a foundation dedicated to the search for missing persons from the Civil War and its aftermath, one soldier who fought in the war gets flooded with personal memories. Among the objects they find, they discover an inscribed metal that causes her to remember what happened in 1975 Madrid, when she was a young girl of 24 who ran a modest library and struggled to confront her own demons. Catalina recalled how she developed a relationship with Doña Julia, a half-blind old woman who lived by herself ever since her nephew was exiled from Spain years before for being gay. Through conversations between the two women the history of various people conditioned by the choices their parents and grandparents made, the reader can understand how the mistakes of a generation fueled by war, dictatorship, and stale moral, strongly influence the personality of those in later generations. Based on true events.A las manos de Catalina García Olmedo– Miranda, Presidenta de una fundación dedicada a la búsqueda de los desaparecidos durante la Guerra Civil y la posguerra, llegan los efectos personales de un soldado que luchó durante la contienda. Entre estos objetos, descubre una medalla con una inscripción que le llevará a recordar lo que aconteció en el año 1975 en Madrid, cuando ella era una joven de veinticuatro años que regentaba una modesta librería y que mantenía una ardua lucha para enfrentarse a sus propios fantasmas. Catalina recuerda cómo empezó su relación con Doña Julia, una anciana medio ciega que vivía sola desde que su sobrino se viera obligado a exiliarse de España años atrás por ser homosexual. A través de las conversaciones entre ambas mujeres y de la historia de diversos personajes que viven condicionados por las decisiones que sus padres y abuelos tomaron en el pasado, el lector podrá comprender cómo los errores de una generación alimentada por la guerra, la Dictadura y una moral rancia y estática, influyen sobremanera en la personalidad de aquellos que forman parte de las generaciones posteriores. Basada en hechos reales.
