Campo del cielo

More than four thousand years ago, in a vast region of northern Argentina, the largest meteor shower fell on Earth. Hundreds of stories are told about this phenomenon, which seems to have determined the behavior and customs of the people in the surroundings. Like Julio, the town boxer who sees the image of an alien when he receives a blow to the head, or Jorgelina, the singer, who can't stop singing zambas and chacareras. And Quique, the boy who hugs the meteorites in the park as if they were mother figures. In a disturbing and supernatural territory, but also fragile and tender, against the background of the Chaco landscape, Mariano Quirós' stories create a world of their own and particular.
