Viene del Este

The lives of several characters intersect on an ordinary day, March 22nd, when, as on every day, the sun rises in the east and, before it sets in the west, someone will fall in love, lose a friend, care for their ailing mother, be born, or arrive late to work, exhausted from everything. A day when everything can change, while elsewhere (always elsewhere), bombs fall, and the end of the world seems possible. While the media reports on the conflicts ravaging half the world, several characters show us glimpses of their daily lives: their jobs, their social relationships, their heartbreaks. In the future, in the form of a masterful prologue, the threat materializes as bombs fall and lives are endangered. The end of the world that no one wants to see. Someday we will look back and ask ourselves: what was it like on the day the end of the world began? An ordinary day, a normal day. Each chapter spans 24 hours of the day and addresses a contemporary issue: individualism; mental blindness; the alienation caused by new technologies; selective perception. Mechanisms of escape to cope with life. A tapestry whose common thread is the city.
