A Thunderous Whisper

What you need to know before your trail

Anetxu lives with her mother in a small house – her mother refers to her simply as ‘girl’ and both mentally and physically abuses her. Her brother is dead and her father out fighting the Facists.

One day she meets a young boy, Mathias, who has recently moved to Guernica due to his father’s job in a theatre. He walks with a limp and Anetxu becomes his friend. Mathias’s father is  Basque wheras his mother is a German Jew and so Mathias supports the anti – Facisit cause. However despite their differences, Ani and Mathias become friends.

One day when they are both at the theatre, they over hear Mathias father talking to friends who are working undercover as spies for the anti- Facist cause. They are passing messages and seem to working for the cause.

But then the devastating bombing starts –  destroying Guernica and changing the world that Mathias and Anetxu have found solace in.
