When we called it champagne
When we called it champagne : Original title: Días de champán | Rafel Nadal
2 posts | 1 read
Loves and hates, successes and failures, revenge and betrayal: a family saga with powerful characters and intense passions.
...
In 1885 the young Francisco Oller decides to leave his hometown, plagued by phylloxera, to build a better future in France. His steps will take him to Reims, in the heart of the French Champagne, where he will create a powerful industry with the development of corks. There, he will have four children of very strong personalities: Angèle (brave), Hélène (rebel), Louis (unsatisfied), and Yvonne (mysterious). Through them, Rafel Nadal builds a family saga that goes through the most turbulent century of the history of Europe: the First World War, the crack of 1929, the Nazi persecution of the Jews, the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War and the European rebirth after the war.

It is a dramatic and beautiful story with champagne as a reference.
A man who lives many adventures during the world and national wars to maintain the legacy of the best wine and champagne maker of his time.
This occurs mainly between Catalonia and France, and reminds us of the value of resilience and perseverance.
