180K0

The town of Vallejos in the Pampas is a typical southern Latin American town: the wind and sand are rolling in, the life is boring, but it also breeds all kinds of rumors and love stories. Everyone has loneliness and secrets hidden deep in their hearts, and longs for a glimpse of light in the mediocrity. The only joy in the little boy Duoduo's life is to go to the cinema to watch movies with his mother. Only when the movie started, his life began to come alive. However, those bright and beautiful female stars also became the beginning of the conflict in his inner world. When the truth of life slowly unfolds in front of this boy with an artistic temperament, he gradually learns to walk between reality and the dream created by the big screen, weaves his own story, and starts an endless spiritual wandering... The book is divided into chapters and is unfolded in the form of telephone dialogues, inner monologues, diaries, compositions, essays and letters. With gentle and sincere brushwork, and color blocks of humor and gossip, it depicts many people, things, and objects surrounding Duoduo, and outlines a picture of life in a Pampas town.
