Because of a flower
Because of a flower
Antonia lives in a town inhabited only by dogs and geckos. All
The neighboring hamlets were emptied of their inhabitants and all the lands around
seem sterile. In the village of Antonia, or at least in what remains of it,
a flower grows that reminds him of better times, the memory of gaiety
of this place and the fertility of the fields. Take care of this flower, maintain it
alive at all costs, becomes the main goal of Antonia's existence. But a
unexpected visit will help him undertake an initiatory journey during
from which she will rediscover a life she thought she had lost and learn to
cultivate the flower of one's desires. With lightness and delicacy, María Medem
draws you into his world of orange sunsets, landscapes with colors
bright, with drops of dew and rain hanging from the blades of grass,
of birds floating in a sky torn by plumes of clouds, of nature
who expresses himself in complete freedom. In Because of a Flower, María Medem constructs
a universe whose images continue to inhabit us long after we have
enclosed his book; a visual poem remarkable for its creativity and coherence,
hymn to the sweetness of solitude and the warmth of encounters.
