Résumé
"The death of Ausencio, a drunken and irresponsible father, unleashes the demons that dwell inside Arturo, his eldest son, who as a result of this loss will fall into a spiral of sadness, remorse, and despair, which will lead him… to face the same vice that overshadowed the possibilities of happiness in his childhood and youth. Mourning becomes a shadow that looms over all his actions and thoughts, and his present becomes a continuous wandering through bad memories and black omens. The abandonment and humiliation to which alcohol leads him cause him to fall out with the town and his loved ones. Ausencio is the story of a descent into hell, of a son who fears repeating his father's mistakes, of a young man who seems to be followed by three ghostly women to announce a fateful destiny, of a man who flees and exposes himself in the open to the face of his death." -- Translation provided by NLS
