Synopsis of Huérfana, monstruo, espía
Summer of 1939. For the Jews, the right time to escape from Berlin has already passed. After a disastrous attempt to escape from the city that has cost her mother her life, Sarah, a smart, athletic and impulsive 15-year-old girl, finds herself alone. And she’ll just have to run away. Just when it seems that nothing can get better, Sarah meets a British spy who makes her an offer she cannot refuse: if she helps him with his mission, he will get her out of Germany.
That’s when Sarah is given a new identity and sent to a boarding school for the daughters of top Nazi officials. Her mission: to befriend Elsa Schafer, the daughter of a secluded nuclear scientist, and to discover everything she can about the secret laboratory she owns. In constant danger and fear of being discovered, Sarah must endure the ruthless harassment of her schoolmates, the brutal gaze of a secret society and the constant, sadistic and sociopathic behaviour of her teachers. However, she perseveres, and will eventually gain the trust of the faraway and distant Elsa.
When she is finally invited to Elsa’s estate, Sarah can almost taste the freedom, or the idea of freedom. But then he discovers a weapon that could change the course of the war, and something even more horrible that could cause Sarah to walk out of there alive…
