Fosca

The crickets have suddenly fallen silent, and Gabi wakes up with a hollow feeling in his stomach. His parents are gone, and he knows something is about to happen. He had spent the previous days in the countryside just as always: helping with the grain, wandering among the eucalyptus trees with his dog Sombra, and enduring the cruel teasing of his older brothers. They mock him because he is different: he knows the secrets of plants, gloves hide the warts on his hands, and a strange condition prevents him from recognizing faces. Tonight, a crime will change his life forever. Although he cannot identify the culprit, he knows it must be the work of someone close to him. As the *fosca*—that dense dust storm sweeping through the ravines and coating everything in haze, even certainties—rolls in, Gabi attempts to bring the truth to light and exact his revenge.
