Synopsis "Daisy Sisters (in Spanish)"

Despues de haberse carteado durante tres anos, pero sin haberse visto jamas, Elna y Vivi, dos jovenes suecas de apenas diecisiete anos, por fin van a conocerse. En el caluroso verano de 1941, en plena guerra mundial, juntas emprenderan un viaje en bicicleta hasta la frontera de Suecia -pais que por el momento se mantiene neutral- con Noruega, ocupada por las tropas nazis. El mundo les espera, pero las dos ignoran que, durante ese viaje, el encuentro con dos militares sera determinante para el futuro de una de ellas. Las dos fantasean con viajar a paises lejanos, con alcanzar la libertad y la independencia; sin embargo, la cruda realidad acabara por imponerse y obligara a desistir de sus suenos a aquellas dos jovenes que se llamaban a si mismas Daisy Sisters, siguiendo la moda norteamericana. Pero nunca, ni ellas ni sus descendientes, cejaran en su lucha por escapar de su asfixiante entorno y tomar las riendas de su vida. / Two young Swedish embark on a cycling trip to the border of Sweden. Both are unaware that meeting with two soldiers will determine the future of one of them. Both fantasize about traveling to achieve freedom and independence, but the harsh reality forces to give up their dreams for those two youngsters who called themselves Daisy Sisters.
