Disfraces terribles

In the 1970s, the prestigious Argentine short story writer Raúl de la Torre, who lives in Paris, rose to fame by publishing his first novel. His popularity as a boom novelist grew with his subsequent works, his unexpected second marriage, and his political involvement. All this places him in the spotlight of the chronicles of society when he decides to publicly discover his homosexuality or when his suicide with a gun is known. Many years later, the young French critic Ariel Lenormand embarks on the biography of the writer by interviewing those who knew him: his editor, his friends and, above all, Amelia, his disconcerting and sophisticated first wife, companion and support of the author throughout of their life. But the mysterious world that surrounded the writer threatens to become part of the biographer's life. What dark pressures led you to confess his homosexuality at a time when no one did? Why did he kill himself? What is the terrible mystery hidden in his novel work? Why do witnesses lie after so many years?
