En todo hay una grieta y por ella entra la luz

In a dark New York, still reeling from the pandemic and under the specter of Trump's new authoritarianism, a writer is commissioned to write the biography of Benjamin Fondane, a French poet and filmmaker of Romanian origin, a witness to Parisian surrealism, author of a cursed film in Buenos Aires, and murdered in Auschwitz. But the project is interrupted. An illness, a bereavement, and a devastating event open a fissure through which family history, the disappearance of a landscape, the ruins of the century, and the memory of a fox whose gaze revealed an extraordinary gift to his immigrant grandfather in Argentina seep in.
