La oficina de premoniciones

It all begins after the 1966 Aberfan disaster, when an avalanche of mining waste buries a school, killing 116 pupils—virtually every child in the village. Amidst the national mourning, a British psychiatrist named John Barker discovers that many of the students had experienced premonitions of the tragedy: they had drawn pictures, had dreams... yet no one believed them. A ten-year-old girl told her mother, "I dreamed I went to school and there was no school. Something black had covered everything." The very next morning, she died, buried within the building. Barker was a man of contradictions. A Cambridge-trained physician and a member of the Society for Psychical Research, he was determined to push the boundaries of psychiatry into territories his colleagues deemed absurd. He became obsessed with the events: what if these intuitions could be studied, classified, and used to foresee future disasters? He issued a public appeal. Hundreds of letters began to arrive, recounting precognitive dreams and unsettling visions. Thus was born the Premonitions Bureau—an experiment as ambitious as it was baffling, situated on the frontier between science, the inexplicable, and the human need to find meaning amidst chaos. Among the many who contacted him, two individuals appeared to possess a truly inconceivable ability. They predicted plane crashes, murders, and international incidents with astonishing accuracy. Yet they also shared their most unsettling premonition with Barker: he was about to die.
