La tierra de la gran promesa

La tierra de la gran promesa

Villoro, Juan

Diego González is a documentary filmmaker who talks in his sleep. He is married to a sound engineer who tries to decipher what he says in dreams. He moves to Barcelona, but the past catches up with him like a nightmare. The visit of an old acquaintance, the journalist Adalberto Anaya, upsets his recent tranquility. Anaya -who has watched Diego for years with the almost excessive attention of an admirer- blames him for having made a documentary to hand over to a narco. Diego is forced to deal with this enemy who is, at the same time, his only ally. The land of great promise is a metaphor for contemporary Mexico. A comprehensive reading on the interweaving of corruption and intimate life where truths are spoken in sleep. A reflection on the way in which art influences reality and in which reality distorts art.
