LA VIDA ES UNA SUAVE QUEMADURA

Autor: FRANCESC MIRALLES CONTIJOCH

Víctor?s sixteenth birthday began predictably. Like almost every Saturday, his father had gone to the office and wouldn?t return until late, although he had been left an envelope containing a present of five hundred euros. After a night on the town with his friends, Víctor feels sad and empty. He is devastated by the sudden death of his favourite uncle, but just then, chance takes him to the house of his old maths teacher who tells him a strange story. What at first sound like the ramblings of an old man end up becoming a horror story from which Víctor will have trouble escaping. A mysterious phone call at three in the morning marks the start of an adventure with unexpected consequences? An accurate portrait of the life of modern-day teens and also of a kid's process of maturation. A boy that even he is not catholic, comes across to San Francisco de Asis? words, by chance, and those words help him to this difficult art to think about.
