ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
How long can we hide behind silence?
"A harsh and beautiful story that immerses the reader in an intimate world of hurt, silence and walls."-AIMAR BRETOS
"Everything would be easier if my parents were dead."
This terrible thought has shaped the life of this story's protagonist, causing him guilt and shame. Now, on the eve of turning thirty, he is ready to confront his mother's absence and his father's illness.
What weighs on him most, however, is that he has never been able to reveal his true self to his family. The most he's done is write about it in a novel, which has been chosen as a finalist for a young writers' award. And now, time is running out.
He has seven days to confess his secret until the winners of the literary award are announced. If he wins, everyone will know the truth. Seven days versus years of lies and half-truths. Seven days to break the silence.
A moving and contemporary tale about family, rejection, sexuality and love.
