Maximo Huerta presents "Mama is sleeping" at Fnac Rambles

Máximo Huerta presents Mamá está dormida, on Tuesday, February 10 at 7pm at the Fnac Rambles forum. *Free entry until full capacity is reached.

A mother, a son, and an unexpected revelation. Sometimes, the longest journey is the one within yourself.

When Aurora begins to lose her memory she asks her son: «And your brother, where is he?». A phrase that could be everyday and trivial if it weren't for the fact that this son, at fifty-three years old, had always believed he was the only one. Could it be true, or is it just a hallucination? How could this change his life? Are his mother's blurred memories heavier, or the certainties that emerge through the cracks of their arguments?

To uncover the truth, the two of them will embark on a journey in a camper van together with their old little dog to Vera de Bidasoa, a village among mountains where Aurora lived as a young woman under the shelter of the harsh and sinister Sección Femenina.

Máximo Huerta delivers a moving novel to speak to us about what we keep quiet, what we forget, and what never completely fades away.
