Las noches oscuras - Ilus.Galería

Leila lives in Comodoro Rivadavia. The outbreak of the Malvinas war is imminent when she finds a stray flamingo on the beach. While her mother works at the hospital and her grandmother stays home with her, the city becomes an increasingly hostile place—dark at night, with boarded-up windows and packed bags ready for an imminent evacuation. The flamingo’s presence provides a distraction that helps her cope with the circumstances, but as the days go by, it becomes increasingly difficult to escape reality.
