Ucraïna, mon amour
Torner, Carles
The Russian military invasion forces Rosalia to leave the city of Lviv -where she works as a translator- and return to Barcelona. Once home, she discovers that everything has changed for her. She no longer gets along with her ex-husband, nor with mutual friends, who have always been linked to the pacifist movement. The news of the war and calls to Ukrainian friendships grab her attention, to the point where she feels like a foreigner in Catalonia, which she sees as a country stuck in the doldrums. But two voices keep him company. That of her father -died months ago-, with whom she begins a nocturnal dialogue that reveals aspects of herself to her, and that of the writer who was translating when the war broke out, Isaac Bashevis Singer, who guides her along the paths of irony, protest and compassion. Day by day, week by week, Rosalia rebuilds her relationship with her childhood friends, with whom she will establish a bridge with the voices that reach her from Ukraine.
