Palmeras en la nieve

Clarence has grown up listening to stories about the African country which his father Jacobo and his uncle Kilian emigrated to in the decade of 1950 to work in a cocoa plantation. In that eternally green, lush and voluptuous land, the young brothers discover the frivolity of the colony's social life in comparison with a corseted and grey Spain; they share the hard work needed to obtain the Sampaka finca's perfect cocoa; they learn of the cultural differences and similarities between the colonials and natives; and they get to know the meaning of friendship, passion, love and hate. But one of them will cross a forbidden and invisible line and will fall hopelessly in love with a woman. His love for her, marked by complex historical circumstances, will transform the brothers' relationship and the course of their lives, and will be the source of a secret whose traces still remain today.
