Música blanca

Carmen Laforet turns the pages of a photo album, from back to front. Next to her is her daughter, Cristina Cerezales, who has devised this way back and accompanies her on an intense journey through the rooms of her memory. They close their eyes and their thoughts communicate in a new, unique, precious way. The voice that Carmen Laforet had decided to silence many years ago, which would silence a degenerative illness, takes on the precise intonation through her daughter, a silence plagued with words, words not enunciated but diaphanous and full of revelations, words in a new language, in white music clef. From the privileged position of her daughter and an expert in her work, Cristina Cerezales provides the reader with first-hand material on Carmen Laforet in which revealing details abound that allow a deep understanding of her life and her work. But, above all, it is a brave, free and wise journey through the light and shadows of the human condition. A beautiful declaration of love from a daughter to her mother.
