The chimera of the vanquished
by Luis Urios
"The shoemaker's bell rang again". An old shoemaker who lost everything and had to learn to naturalise misfortune. A tyranny that has ravaged the region relentlessly for decades. Murders, disappearances, torture and a perceptive young man who works in one of the Regime's factories and has never known freedom. An organisation of insurgents fighting oppression from the shadows. Two intertwined destinies. A life in which everything was lost. Another in which nothing was ever had. A struggle to achieve freedom. The chimera of the vanquished (La quimera de los vencidos) is about the loss of what is dearest to you, about finding a ray of light in the darkness, about hope, about structural injustice and about the desire for a better world.
