Las siete cajas

Dory Sontheimer grew up in post-war Barcelona, ​​raised Catholic and under the rigid morality of the Franco regime. She thought she knew her story… until, after her mother's death, she went up to the attic and found seven mysterious, dusty boxes. Inside were letters, photographs, passports, and documents that revealed a secret buried for decades: Dory was descended from a German Jewish family that fled Nazism and took refuge in a Spain where fear and silence also reigned. Driven by bewilderment, emotion, and a profound sense of justice, Dory embarked on a journey across half the world to piece together the puzzle of her family's past. In this quest, she gave voice to those who had lost it, pieced together the broken threads of her identity, and unearthed stories of love, exile, betrayal, and resistance. With unique sensitivity and honesty, this true story reminds us that, even in the darkest times, love triumphs over hate and ultimately prevails.
