Sinopse

Gabriel Santoro becomes estranged from his father when the latter devastatingly, and publicly, criticises his son’s book about the flight of Jewish immigrants from Nazi Germany to Bogotá in the 1930s. The conflict between father and son, their subsequent reconciliation and the mysterious death of the father lead the reader into an examination of the betrayal, guilt and obsession at the heart of Colombian society in World War II, when blacklists of German immigrants were circulated, effectively destroying countless lives. Half a century later, this moral dilemma re-emerges with a vengeance, in a gripping narrative that unpacks like a set of Russian dolls.
