La versión de Eric (Eric's version)
by Nando López
Description
GRAN ANGULAR PRIZE 2020 -
In this world of images and appearances, keeping silent or hiding are not an option if we are to defend the inalienable right to be who we are and to defend who we want to be. La versión de Eric combines the intrigue of a thriller with the intimate perspective of its narrator protagonist. The action unfolds in a police station, late at night. As Eric waits to talk to the police about the crime that has just occurred, he recalls his past and everything that led up to the events that have brought him here: he was nine years old when his father left home, eleven when the nightmares started, thirteen the first time he was admitted, fourteen when he met Tania. His friendship with Tania will play a key role in his life as, together, they set out on a new path that leads them to discover and accept themselves. It is through Tania that he takes up acting classes, Lorca, the series, success, followers… but also, on that terrible night, full of secrets, there will be a corpse on the tarmac and half-truths in abundance. Eric just wants his version of the story to be told.
