Synopsis

El Rapidín, to be read in a flash, is a collection of very short texts designed for a young audience. In this tale, the four walls of a home contain multiple secrets, stories which make one’s skin crawl. The whispers, the sobbing, the diverse creaks that let us know that something is in hiding, although it is not in our hands to answer, for certain, what it is… Gabriel returns after many years to his maternal home, in order to face something unimaginable that has taken control of the memories of his past; perhaps this time he can find the peace he has so been seeking.
