Isla Decepción

After quitting a job she hates, Marcela flees her life in Santiago de Chile to visit her father in Punta Arenas, in Patagonia. There she discovers that Miguel, with whom she has a complex relationship, is hiding a young Korean man who has been rescued by a group of fishermen at sea. Isolated behind a wall of silence and a traumatic story, Lee is a mystery to unravel, a survivor in which they both turn to avoid resolving their own differences. Inspired by real cases of oriental sailors who put their lives in danger by jumping from the factory ships that sail through the Strait of Magellan, Isla Decepción tells the story of three fugitives who seek a refuge not to surrender. Addressing the current state of exploitation of the seas and unthinkable working conditions in the XXI century, the novel crosses the frontier of reality to arrive at a new shore, one in which loneliness, mistakes and despair can still become an adventure.
