Choose. Freedom should basically be that. The consequences come later. Nothing heavier than being free to choose your destiny. Mario, the protagonist of this story, made his choice. Career promotion or love are always a good excuse to tip vital choices one way or the other.

Mario is at that moment in which he is weighing if his chain of elections was the most successful. A physical ailment takes him away from his work and the reader may guess that it is a somatization, the one derived from his deepest personal tribulations, a physical complaint of another more internal claim. Perhaps not everything is a matter of bad or good choices, bad luck can always intervene, with its halo of doom that devastates everything.

Can happiness be in the same place where you left it last time? Mario returns to Barcelona in search of any glimmer of happiness between melancholy and that somatization of an undefined, covered, hidden pain.

Children are a question we ask of the future. Upon returning to Barcelona, ​​Mario looks to his adolescent son for answers to the future but also to the past. Something tells him that the inner pain and his physical reflection could disappear if he found a way to link their destinies in a choice, finally, completely correct.

Heraclitus already said it: nobody bathes twice in the same river. When life, love, pain, destiny and children have already traced a channel, it is difficult to drink its water again. But if there is something that a person really moves through life, that is hope.

An interesting and different novel of feelings embarked on modernity, with its strange times that run.
