Balad from the frontline

In a city at war, unanswered letters and overheard voices become the soundtrack of a generation forced to grow up too soon.

Author: Alex Miklan

Synopsis:

When the Spanish Civil War breaks out, young Felisa says goodbye to Andresito, her boyfriend, who has been sent to the front. She begins writing him letters that may never reach him while working as a telephone operator in Madrid’s Telefónica building, a strategic target of the bombings.

As she connects calls between strangers, Felisa overhears farewells, promises and tragedies that echo her own life. Around her, the war transforms her family and her closest friend, Adela, whose once-privileged world is rapidly falling apart.

With her letters unanswered and Madrid crumbling around them, Felisa and Adela discover an unexpected bond amid fear, loss and uncertainty.
