In the summer of 1978, a teenager named Ignacio Cañas meets two delinquents his age, El Zarco and Tere, an encounter that will change his life forever. Thirty years later, a writer is commissioned to write a book about El Zarco, who has become a myth of juvenile delinquency. Through a fast-paced story, the novel explores the limits of freedom and the motivations of our actions, confirming Javier Cercas as an indispensable figure in contemporary European narrative. The film adaptation directed by Daniel Monzón was awarded 5 Goya awards in 2022, including best adapted screenplay.
