In 'El penúltimo sueño', Ángela Becerra introduces us to Joan Dolgut and Soledad Urdaneta, two souls destined to love each other in a world that conspires to keep them apart. Class differences, ingrained customs, and physical distance stand in their way, turning their love into a prolonged and unfinished dream that will only find its awakening at the end of their lives, with a surprising ending. Their children, moved by curiosity and the desire to understand the secret that marked their parents' existence, will embark on a search that will intertwine unexpected feelings, latent passions, contradictions, equivocations, spirituality, and eroticism, all narrated with a unique literary intensity.
