Tuin der Afwezigen plot

Pilar Manjón lost her son in the terrorist attacks of 11 March 2004 in Madrid. Unwillingly, she is a spokeswoman for the victims and relatives, whom she sees as family: 'People who unintentionally accompanied my son on a journey that no one had asked for.' Powerful and vulnerable Manjón gives a voice to the 192 dead and 1500 wounded. After a response from her that was broadcast by a national television channel, she received hate mails and threats from the extreme right and now has a bodyguard.
