Synopsis "Malos presagios (in Spanish)"

Es época de grandes cambios en Europa. Todo parece de pronto imaginable, nada imposible. Una polaca y un alemán -ella restauradora, él historiador de Arte- se conocen en Danzig en 1989, el Día de los Fieles Difuntos. Al visitar juntos un cementerio tienen una idea: ¿no sería un acto humanitario y una contribución a la reconciliación entre Polonia y Alemania dar a los alemanes en otro tiempo huidos o expulsados de Danzig la posibilidad de encontrar el último reposo en su antigua tierra? Fundan una sociedad Germano-Polaca de Cementerios e inauguran el primer Cementerio de la Reconciliación. Pero con los nuevos socios entran en juego nuevos intereses...Una parábola urdida con gusto por el detalle, contada con ironía suave y agudeza satírica, una historia de amor serena y melancólica: una gran novela llena de ternura y de pasión por la vida, la nueva obra en prosa de Günter Grass.

Günter Grass (Danzig, 1927–Lübeck, 2015) was an influential German writer, poet, playwright, and visual artist. His work is characterized by deep social and political criticism, addressing issues such as historical memory and German identity. His most recognized novel, The Tin Drum (1959), launched the Danzig Trilogy, followed by Cat and Mouse (1961) and Dog Years (1963). Other notable works include The Flounder (1977) and Crabwalk (2002).

In 1999, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the eighth German author to win it. His literature, framed in the "Vergangenheitsbewältigung" (coming to terms with the past) movement, combines elements of magical realism with satire and social criticism. Besides his literary work, Grass was an active participant in the political and cultural life of Germany, being a member of the Social Democratic Party and a defender of social causes.
