«Un ambicioso relato, donde el amor y el miedo, el pasado y el futuro, se entremezclan con el destino de dos jóvenes reunidos por el azar en el mismo tren.» —Almudena Grandes Cualquier vida puede cambiar en un minuto En el invierno de 1943, Madrid se despereza entre las ruinas de la guerra. En los suburbios de la ciudad, Daniel esconde su verdadera identidad y, con ella, su pasado en el conflicto. En el otro Madrid, el de los cafés de tertulia y los escaparates de la calle Serrano, Julita empieza estudiar letras en la universidad y siente la necesidad de separarse del futuro que su familia siempre había prefijado para ella. El minuto que tardan dos trenes en chocar Unidos por la fuerza del destino, los dos jóvenes coincidirán en un largo viaje en el expreso desde Madrid hasta La Coruña, huyendo de lo que otros han planeado para ellos. Allí se conocerán y verán nacer su complicidad, sin saber que el tren está abocado a una catástrofe que cambiará sus vidas para siempre. El minuto que tardan dos miradas en cruzarse La vida en un minuto rescata un episodio tristemente desconocido de la posguerra, la tragedia de un choque ferroviario que se saldó con cientos de víctimas y que fue silenciado por la prensa del régimen franquista. Lo hace para mostrarnos que el amor y la vida, a veces, pueden nacer entre los escombros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION «An ambitious story in which love and fear, the past and the future, intertwine with the fate of two young people brought together, by chance, on the same train.» —Almudena Grandes Any life can change in a minute In the winter of 1943, the remains of war still weigh over Madrid. In the suburbs, Daniel hides his identity and, with it, the role he played in the recent conflict. In the other Madrid, the one with the cafés and shops on Calle Serrano, Julita studies literature and feels the need to flee from the future that her family chose for her. The minute two trains collide Bonded by fate, Daniel and Julita coincide in a long train trip from Madrid to La Coruña, escaping from what others have decided for them. They soon ally, not knowing that the train is rushing into a catastrophe that will change their lives forever. The minute two persons exchange glances Life in a Minute tells a sadly unknown post-war episode: a railway crash that left hundreds of victims, and which was ignored by the press during Franco’s dictatorship. The story proves that love and life can sometimes be born out of rubble.
