The Return

Granada’s cobbled streets resonate with music and secrets and Sonia Cameron is here to dance. She knows nothing of the city’s past. But in a quiet café, a chance conversation and a collection of photographs draws her into the tale of Spain’s devastating civil war.

Seventy years earlier, the café is home to the Ramírez family, when Franco’s army coup shatters the fragile peace and they witness the worst atrocities of conflict. Divided by politics and tragedy, everyone must take a side, as Spain rips itself apart.
