Pan de limón
During the winter of 2010, in a small inland town on Mallorca, Anna and Marina meet again after not seeing each other for fifteen years, to sell a windmill and bakery they have inherited from a woman they never knew. They are two sisters with very different life stories. Anna is well-off, has barely left the island and remains married to a man she no longer loves. Marina works in the third world as a doctor for an NGO. Contrary to all expectations, Marina decides to take on the bakery and find out who Lola Molí was. During her search, she will uncover secrets that marked her relationship with her family; she will learn about baking and will become closer to the real Anna. Together perhaps they might manage to reclaim lost years, confront their ghosts and take the reins of their own lives.
