Guerra y lluvia

A fifty-seven-year-old man suffers from an autoimmune disease that causes strange problems with his skin and mucous membranes. He now lives in Brussels, though he came to France after fleeing his country, the former Yugoslavia, during the war. He has forged a brilliant career as a writer, but he has not been able to escape that geopolitical feeling called exile: that state of mind that consists of being and not being at the same time. The temporal membrane that keeps him in the present ruptures with his illness: the war erupts again in his spirit, and he relives his brief and violent involvement in 1992, when he was only twenty-eight years old.
