After his mother's death, Guazzelli left São Paulo for Florianópolis, with the intention of throwing the ashes into the sea. The road trip serves not only as a reminiscence of his childhood on the beach, with his parents, but also a way to understand his own identity as a father, husband, man and creator. But the journey, in addition to being made in space and in the intimate, also becomes an essay on the way of telling stories, in the surrealist way, in the true meaning of the word, of the author. Free, dreamlike, floating, varied and with an impact that invites you to reread moments as if they were brief poems, this is one of Guazzelli's most personal and engaging books.
The narrative continues in The Blue House.
