SYNOPSIS:
Through a book that he receives in his small publishing house, Javier will learn about the turbulent biography of Amelia Garayoa, a woman who, moved by her ideals, is able to leave her whole life behind to fight for freedom. Due to the encounter with the four men who mark her life -Santiago (her husband), Pierre, Albert and Max- Amelia will be involved in the most relevant events in the history of the 20th century, from the Francoist uprising to the liberation of Berlin; going through the communist boom in Stalin’s Moscow, the barbarism of the Warsaw of the ghettos, the Rome of the last years of the Duce or the decline of Nazi Germany in occupied Athens.
With one eye on the past and one on the future, Tell Me Who I Am tells the story of recent Europe personified in a woman who will never stop paying the price for her own contradictions.
