1982
by Sergio Olguín
Description
“How many chances are there in life to meet the one? They had been lucky enough to meet each other. The circumstances were a minor detail, a line in the story of their love”.
The year is 1982, Pedro is nineteen, and unlike all the men in his family, he did not choose a military career. Instead, he chose Philosophy and reading. His life is shaken by the landing of Argentine troops in the Malvinas, because his father, Lieutenant Colonel Augusto Vidal, is on the front lines.
Although Buenos Aires is far away, the war makes everything change. The period of waiting for the war to be over and for his father to come back draws him closer to Fátima, his stepmother. An unknown and uncontrollable desire will arise between them, a love with the devastating force of freedom. A passion charged with eroticism that will have devastating consequences.
