Die Tränen der Welt

Barcelona, 1901. While social unrest throws the city into turmoil, the ambitious painter Dalmau Sala leads a life between two worlds. By day, he designs tiles in a ceramics factory and tries to sell his art in the elite circles of his employer. After work, Dalmau fights alongside Emma, his great love, for the rights of the working class. But when a tragic accident occurs, their relationship falls apart. Every attempt he makes to win her back fails—until Emma is arrested. As the protests of the Republicans escalate, Dalmau must fear for both their lives and make a choice: will he choose the escape into the unknown or the fight for his ideals and for love? Masterfully, grippingly, and entertainingly, the author of the worldwide bestseller "The Cathedral of the Sea" portrays the rising metropolis of Barcelona at the beginning of the 20th century.
