El mapa de la vida SYNOPSIS
It takes great courage to go on when the map of life has been torn. It takes great courage to love again. A SURPRISING LOVE STORY THAT CAME OUT OF MADRID’S TERROR ATTACKS OF 11 MARCH 2004. A REALISTIC STORY WITH A HINT OF FANTASY. Ada and Gabiel have survived the attack. Their souls and bodies left the trains in a sorry state. Nevertheless, life has given them the gift of finding each other and overcoming the horror with an unexpected love story. In El mapa de la vida there are angels who glimpse a universe of mythical wonders, which superbly link fourteenth century Florence, Mohammed, Guantanamo prison, the Nazareth of a young girl called Miriam, and the most absolute mixture of races of the contemporary city.
