Los que nos salvaron

Synopsis of Los que nos salvaron

For fifty years, Anna Schlemmer has refused to talk about her life in Germany during World War II. Her daughter, Trudy, was only three years old when they were liberated by the American army and went to live in Minnesota. Trudy's only memory of that past is an old photograph showing Anna, Trudy, and a Nazi officer. Haunted by the ghosts of that past, and with a certain sense of guilt, Trudy begins to investigate until she discovers the dramatic and heartbreaking truth of her mother's life. A passionate and ominous love story, a vivid evocation of life in wartime, and a moving relationship between mother and daughter, but also a profound and sincere exploration of survival and the legacy of guilt.
