Plot:
Spain, Costa Blanca. The sun is still hot even though it already September. Per le strade non c'è nessuno, e l'aria è pervasa dal profumo di limoni che arriva fino al mare. È qui che Sandra , trentenne in crisi, ha cercato rifugio: non ha un lavoro, è in rotta con i genitori, è incinta di un uomo che non è sicura di amare. Si sente sola, ed è alla disperata ricerca di una bussola per la sua vita. Fino al giorno in cui non incontra occhi comprensivi e gentili: si tratta di Fredrik e Karin Christensen, una coppia di amabili vecchietti. Sono come i nonni che non ha mai avuto. Momento dopo momento, le regalano una tenera amicizia, le presentano persone affascinanti, come Alberto, e la accolgono nella grande villa circondata da splendidi fiori. Un paradiso. Ma in realtà si tratta dell'inferno.
Perché Fredrik e Karin sono criminali nazisti. Si sono distinti per la loro ferocia e ora covano il sogno di ricominciare. Lo sa bene Julián, scampato al campo di concentramento di Mauthausen, che da giorni segue i loro movimenti. Sa bene che le loro mani rugose si sono macchiate del sangue degli innocenti. Ma ora, forse, può smascherarli e Sandra è l'unica in grado di aiutarlo. Non è facile convincerla della verità.
Eppure, dopo un primo momento di incredulità, la donna comincia a guardarli con occhi diversi e a leggere dietro quella fragile apparenza.
Adesso Sandra l'ha capito: lei e il suo piccolo rischiano molto. But no matter. Why everyone should know. Why can not return life to the victims, but you can at least make sure everything that has happened does not fall into oblivion. And that evil will not remain unpunished.
