Luis had everything anyone could want: money, respect, political power, and lots of love. In the prime of his life, fate deals him a brutal blow. A deadly disease is detected in his beloved wife during a routine medical check-up. They only give him six months to live.
Desperate, Luis decides to leave his native land in South America, to move to live in Spain. The only country in the world where his wife can receive medical and health treatment.
He does not imagine what awaits him.
He will face xenophobia, racism, discrimination, malice and cruelty from some Spanish relatives who harass, humiliate and despise him to abominable limits.
While Luis fights for the future of his wife and his daughter, he will travel with his mind through the memories of his Venezuelan family. A way to escape that will help him escape the horrors of his new Spanish reality.
His odyssey, told in the first person, includes magical realism, brutal violence, lyrical beauty and sublime love.
