THE SOUND OF AN EMPTY HEART
by Graciela Mayrink
An anonymous message uniting two sad and lonely hearts: a singer and his fan. Gabriel Moura is a rock star at the peak of his career, after releasing an album well received by critics. He seems to have everything, but he hides himself in his room, tormented by manias that his mother put in his head. Fighting against OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), trying to overcome his obsessions and compulsions, he finds a forum about depression, where a fan shares his problems. When he feels connected to her, he begins to nurture a fixation for the girl and believes that it can help her end her sadness. Carolina is in her first year of college and is haunted by the ghost of a scandal at the end of high school. Her ex-boyfriend leaked an intimate photo of her on the Internet. Without parental support, she falls into depression, distances herself from her twin sister, and finds relief only by talking to strangers in an online forum. One day, she meets a fan of her idol on the internet who is also having problems, and the two of them start exchanging messages of support. Little does Carolina know that who is behind everything is the famous singer.
