LAS LAGRIMAS DE SAN LORENZO

A story about paradise and hell, lost and gained - about fathers and sons, friends and lovers, encounters and goodbyes - that thread a life through the flow of time and the moorings of memory. The protagonist, a university professor in his fifties, returns to Ibiza after a restless life, roaming Europe without ever settling down. In company of his young son he returns to Ibiza where he has spent the best times of his youth to share and witness together the annual celestial spectacle of the Perseid meteor showers also called the Tears of San Lorenzo. Side to side, father and son lie on the ground, contemplating the night sky together. The scent of the land and the sea and the surging memories of days long past give way to melancholy and imagination.
