El secreto de Marcial

Marcial Fernández left Asturias for Buenos Aires and, like many men of his generation, barely spoke to his son. When the boy decided to become a writer, Marcial shut him out for years. Their one meeting point was old Hollywood movies on TV, through which the father taught him, obliquely and with misunderstandings, about life and feeling. Now, years after Marcial's death, the son reconstructs his story, finds hints of a hidden existence and cannot stop digging.
