In 1946, Ludka Nowak, a nine-year-old girl, arrives in Barcelona accompanied by a hundred Polish orphan children. Many of them kidnapped by the German Nazis and subjected to an intense Germanization process 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, subjected to the most absolute uprooting, will be able to remember episodes from her past and will recover her real name.

The three names of Ludka is a story narrated by three voices: Ludka’s, Emma’s and Isabel’s, which intertwine to delve into an epic of survivors forced to live in a time 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.
