[Spanish] - Bajo el sol de Creta
"Es el verano de 1936, y la isla de Creta brilla bajo el sol y el mar Egeo. Allí, en sus playas, dos jóvenes descubrirán el amor. Eleni ha viajado a Creta toda su vida. Viene de Inglaterra a pasar los soleados veranos con su abuelo en su idílica villa junto al mar. Cuando llega en 1936, cree que las largas y calurosas semanas que se avecinan serán como muchas otras. Pero ese año también llega a la isla un joven alemán llamado Otto. Y así comienza un verano de romance: el mar, el sol, el tomillo fresco, la alegría y la música deberían durar para siempre. Pero tres años después estalla la guerra, y en 1941 la isla cae bajo la invasión nazi. Eleni y Otto han vuelto a la isla. Pero esta vez Eleni ha venido a luchar por su hogar, y Otto es parte del ejército de ocupación. El destino los ha convertido en enemigos y su amor no sólo es una traición, sino un peligro para sus vidas. ¿Está destinado a destruirlos o será más fuerte y sobrevivirá a la tragedia de la guerra?"
Jenny Ashcroft (Author), Veronica Pavlinusich (Narrator)
