ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Who lives the other half of our life?"
Narsia, a 58-year-old theater teacher, and her ex-husband respond to a call from their youngest son in February 2000. The young man confesses to his parents that he murdered his girlfriend a week ago. However, he has not summoned them for help but to witness his jump from the tenth floor.
With a fractured soul, Narsia returns to her hometown in Sinaloa. Nine years later, she meets Arsenio, a lost journalist. The mother of Arsenio's daughter, with whom he had a hostile relationship after their separation, was murdered in a shooting. Since then, he has been struggling with fatherhood and searching for replacements for love. Despite their differences, a true friendship quickly develops between Narsia and Arsenio. The unique wisdom of the theater teacher becomes an unexpected beacon for Arsenio. However, Narsia suffers from a severe heart condition. Although treatable through surgery, she does not want to mark another anniversary of her son's death on this earth.
The lives of the characters intersect--brushing against or fatally intertwining--in a monumental and meticulous narrative tree. Geney Beltr n reflects lucidly on the intimacy of violence and the family wounds that shape us, the arduous love for children, and the impossibility of other loves. These pages are a chronicle of the fire that consumes everything and the fire that illuminates.
