Spain, Costa Blanca. The sun is still hot even though it is already September. On the streets there is none, and the air is permeated with a scent of lemon that reaches the sea. It is here that Sandra, in his thirties crisis, sought refuge not have a job, is at odds with their parents, is pregnant with a man who is sure to love. It is lonely and confused, and desperate for a compass for her life. Until the day when he meets his eyes sympathetic and kind: it is Fredrik and Karen Christensen, a couple of lovely old men. They're like the grandparents who has ever had. Moment by moment, gave her a tender friendship, the people are charming as Albert, and welcome in the large villa surrounded by beautiful flowers. A paradise. But in reality it is hell. Why are Karin and Fredrik Nazi criminals. Were known for their ferocity and now, behind their eyes peacefully, hatch a dream to start over. Julian knows, survivor of the concentration camp at Mathausen, which for days following their movements step by step. Now, perhaps, may expose and Sandra is the only one able to help. It is not easy to convince of the truth. Yet, after an initial moment of disbelief, the woman begins to look with different eyes. Now Sandra understood this: she and her very small risk. But no matter. Why everyone should know. Because what has happened does not fall into oblivion.
