Brief Summary – Elevator Pitch:

1968, Mexico City.

The country is going up in flames. Rebellious school and university students are protesting and their demonstrations are threatening the Olympic Games. Alicia Serrano’s older brother, Andrés, is among the students. An outstanding distance runner, he’s been training all his life for the Olympics. Caught up in the unrest, his dreams are shattered when he is shot and seriously injured. Alicia does her best to save his life. They are supported by their father Victor. Sent alone to Mexico from Spain in 1937 when he was twelve years old to avoid the civil war raging there, he never returned. Surviving misfortune is never easy. It takes perseverance.
