Description

THE LAST SUMMER OF SILVIA BLANCH /

A forbidden love always entails lying. A crime always leaves traces.

The last person to see Silvia Blanch – disappeared without trace in the summer of 2017 – is now dead. Alex, a young journalist is sent for a weekend to a village in the Montseny mountains where Silvia lived, to talk with her family and to write a commemorative article a year after the disappearance. She becomes so involved in the case that she decides to spend the summer in the village to find out really what happened. However, she realizes soon enough that her presence annoys the inhabitants of the village, especially Silvia’s cousin, Jan, with whom she falls in love despite the disturbing secrets he hides.
