Claros de luz

Lev is eleven years old, ill, and bedridden. Kato, his smartest classmate, but the one everyone avoids, has to bring him his homework. An unbreakable bond forms between this unlikely pair, one that not only rouses Lev from his lethargy but also offers both young people a sense of belonging in the multiethnic state that was communist Romania. Half a lifetime later, Lev still walks the same paths of his childhood, and all that remains of Kato, who left for the West years ago, are the postcards with drawings she has sent him from all over Europe. But one day, a postcard arrives from Zurich with just two words: "When are you coming?", reopening the doors to the past.
