Description: A traffic accident and a hit-and-run will unleash situations worthy of an existential thriller. Álex Kantor thus begins a journey to the arid landscapes of the Gulf of Cariaco; a journey toward his memory, his conscience, and his damnation. There, he will meet other characters who are also fleeing in search of a new life or something resembling happiness. They will be the actors in this play on the shores of the Gulf. (Publisher's synopsis translated from Spanish by Archivo Venezuela)
