Overview

Una especie de canto poseído me retumbaba en la cabeza, insistente y escalofriante como el viento de invierno entre los árboles.»

Para recuperar la memoria, un hombre centenario, encerrado en un psiquiátrico, escribe y dibuja sobre los muros de su celda los recuerdos que va recuperando. Esto lo lanza a una aventura por las grandes ilusiones y desilusiones de su siglo, y a descubrir las múltiples vidas que lo habitan. Tiene que inventar a sus ancestros y dejar que destile una verdad más profunda. Tiene que inventarse a sí mismo a partir de unos cuantos jirones de recuerdos o delirios.

Su misterio se va desentrañando con sobresaltos, silencios y desbordamientos: aparentemente es un mexicano emigrado a Estados Unidos, convertido en trabajador automotriz; enamorado frustrado de la mujer que sería seducida utilitariamente por el asesino de Trotsky. Emigrado de nuevo a la Unión Soviética, se vuelve obrero en la planta armadora que Henry Ford le vendió a Stalin para crear una utópica Detroit soviética. Fue tutor de inglés de Sergo Beria, hijo del jefe de la Policía Secreta, de la que fue más de una vez peón y víctima. Finalmente será el calígrafo y constructor de este peculiar laberinto. En el centenario de la Revolución Soviética, su testimonio es una cámara de ecos tan entusiastas como adoloridos. Su catatonia y su despertar son los del siglo. Y no han terminado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Some type of possessed chant is taking over my mind." To regain his memory, an old man locked in a psychiatric ward, tries to write and draw those memories that he has recovered on the walls of his cell.This quest tosses him into the great illusions and disappointments of his century-long life, and to discover the many lives that live within him. He must bring back his ancestors and face a deeper truth. He must invent himself from the shreds of memories and delusions that he remembers.

His past mysteries unravel with highs and lows, silences and stream of consciousness: at first, he is Mexican who emigrated to the United States and became an automotive worker; then emigrates to the Soviet Union where he worked at the car plant that Henry Ford sold to Stalin; later he is an English tutor to Sergo Beria, head of the Secret Service; and finally, he will be the author of this peculiar labyrinth. In the centennial anniversary of the Soviet Revolution, his testimony becomes a chamber of echoes as passionate as it is sore.
