Francisco Alfonsin

L'histoire d'un orphelin de père dont la fixation sur un mystérieux inconnu le fait entrer aveuglément dans une tragédie qui va le marquer pour la vie.

Recently released from jail, Andrés experiences an emotional rupture from his 12-year-old son, José Ramón, following a dark family tragedy that nobody is bold enough to confront.

This explosive celebration of children's creativity follows the lives of students and their teachers in a peculiar yet somewhat recognizable primary school. When Jose Maria, more apt at lecturing fine arts at university than controlling a primary classroom, fills in his new post as art teacher, chaos seems on the verge of unleashing itself. However, the path that his young and infinitely imaginative little students take him through shows him there's more than a little he can learn from them, and a new life to discover...

Gabrielle a grandi dans la petite bourgeoisie agricole où son rêve d’une passion absolue fait scandale. A une époque où l’on destine d’abord les femmes au mariage, elle dérange, on la croit folle. Ses parents la donnent à José, un ouvrier saisonnier, chargé de faire d’elle une femme respectable. Gabrielle dit ne pas l’aimer, se voit enterrée vivante. Lorsqu’on l’envoie en cure thermale pour soigner ses calculs rénaux, son mal de pierres, un lieutenant blessé dans la guerre d’Indochine, André Sauvage, fait renaître en elle cette urgence d’aimer. Ils fuiront ensemble, elle se le jure, et il semble répondre à son désir. Cette fois on ne lui prendra pas ce qu’elle nomme « la chose principale ». Gabrielle veut aller au bout de son rêve.
