Nus
Gago, Manuel
In his maturity, Toño Figueroa, a descendant of the last aristocracy in the country, maintains a double life in the intimacy of his memory. He remembers his first days on a daily basis and relentlessly inhabits his past youth: sex, big family lies, trains that have been lost. It moves with cynicism and disbelief in the turbulent political environment of post-Franco Galicia; her social consciousness ends in her own body and that of the women with whom she learns to discover it. Or so he wants us to believe. Until Toño and his friends arrive at the lonely beach of Calabarda, a paradise open to the ocean where you can be free in a new way: without clothes. At one end of the beach, archaeologists discover an ancestral castro. In another, residents dream of cornfields on which the cottages cluster. And in the middle, Toño joins a grea of ??nudists willing to do anything to keep their leathers in the sun. Manuel Gago offers us in "Nus" an ironic and irreverent portrait of the contradictory Galicia of the early 1980s through the sexual adventures of a crap as cynical as it is tender.
