En 1916, en plena Primera Guerra Mundial, llegan a Cádiz dos barcos con más de seiscientos alemanes provenientes de Camerún. Se han entregado en la frontera guineana a las autoridades coloniales por ser España país neutral.

Se instalarán, entre otros sitios, en Zaragoza y formarán allí una pequeña comunidad que ya no volverá a Alemania. Entre ellos estaba el bisabuelo de Eva y Fede, quienes, casi un siglo después, se encuentran en el cementerio alemán de Zaragoza en el entierro de Gabi, su hermano mayor. Junto con su padre, son los últimos supervivientes de los Schuster, una familia que llegó a formar un importante negocio de alimentación. Pero en los tiempos que corren el pasado siempre puede regresar para levantar ampollas.

Con una intriga que crece página a página, Los alemanes trata uno de los episodios más vergonzosos y menos divulgados de la historia de España: cómo los nazis refugiados aquí en un retiro dorado activaron el neonazismo en Alemania. Con sutileza alumbra el infierno que puede llegar a ser, en ocasiones, la familia, y deja en el aire dos preguntas incómodas: Cuándo caducan las culpas de los padres? Llega hasta los hijos la obligación de redimirlas?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In 1916, during World War I, two ships carrying more than six hundred Germans from Cameroon arrive in Cádiz. They have surrendered to the colonial authorities at the Guinean border as Spain is a neutral country.

They will settle, among other places, in Zaragoza and form a small community of people that will never return to Germany. Among them was Eva and Fede's great-grandfather, who, almost a century later, find themselves at the German cemetery in Zaragoza burying their older brother, Gabi. Along with their father, they are the last survivors of the Schuster family, who once built a significant food business. But in current times, the past can always resurface to stir up trouble.

With secrecy and conspiracies that grow page by page, Los alemanes / The Germans addresses one of the most shameful and less-publicized episodes in the history of Spain: how the Nazis who sought refuge there in a golden retreat, activated neo-Nazism in Germany. With subtlety, it shines a light on the hell that family can sometimes become and leaves two uncomfortable hanging questions: When do the parents' sins expire? Do the children have an obligation to redeem and liberate them from those sins?
