In 1946, nine-year-old Ludka Nowak arrives in Barcelona accompanied by a hundred Polish orphan children who were kidnapped by the German Nazis and subjected to an intense process of Germanization during World War II. The International Red Cross and the Polish Consulate make it possible for the children to be welcomed in the city, where the first Polish school is founded. While the authorities search for their families, the children recover the language and culture that has been stolen from them. Thanks to her friendship with Emma, a girl her age, Ludka will be able to remember episodes from her past and recover her true name.
'The Three Names of Ludka' is narrated in three voices: Ludka, Emma and Isabel, who take us into an epic of survivors forced to live in an era of tyranny and oppression. Despite this, they manage to find their place in the world and learn to live and fight for what they want. Without origin, without childhood, like a tree with its roots in the wind.
