1970. Six-year-old Carla Guzman is orphaned during her country's
violent revolution. She finds her mother's body with an Olympic
silver medal sewn into her sweater. Carla soon finds protectors in
Alicia Nunez, a teenage communist soldier, and Felipe Serigo, a
general who passionately loves his Russian wife and yearns to be a
father. Together, they struggle to rebuild their country while
facing the dangers of the Cold War. Carla wants to be a gymnast
like her mother, but must depend on a questionable Romanian coach.
Alicia and Felipe are torn between following their ideology and
ending their country's poverty. Friends become enemies, and enemies
become friends and even lovers in a dangerous game of superpower
brinkmanship. A discovery challenges Alicia's beliefs and pits
Felipe against the father he rejected. It forces them to make a
difficult choice that can save their struggling country -- or lead
to World War III. Intrigue, heart-breaking betrayals, and love.
They happen in a place called Doria.
