Young Adult
On the afternoon when Angel Allegria arrives at the
Poloverdos' farmhouse, he kills the farmer and his wife.
But he spares their child, Paolo--a young boy who will
claim this as the day on which he was born. Together the
killer and the boy begin a new life on this remote and
rugged stretch of land in Chile. Then Luis Secunda, a well-to-do and educated fellow from
the city descends upon them. Paolo is caught in the
paternal rivalry between the two men. But life resumes its
course . . . until circumstances force the three to leave
the farm. In doing so, Angel and Luis confront their pasts
as well as their inevitable destinies--destinies that
profoundly shape Paolo's own future.
