Synopsis "Estrómboli (in Spanish)"

Eight diverse stories conform this volume, posing questions about human relationships, personal sacrifice, and the pursue of dreams. In one of the stories, a bike gang harasses a couple traveling by car. In another, a man eats a live tarantula in front of TV cameras to win money for his family. In a third one, two gold miners suffer a dreadful accident in the mountains causing their friendship to be tested. Next, a married man and his lover travel to the island of Stromboli to aid a common friend . . . All in all, exceptional situations are described in a thought-provoking way. Una banda de motoristas acosa a una pareja que viaja por Estados Unidos; un hombre se ve obligado a comer una tarántula viva ante las cámaras de un programa de televisión para solucionar los problemas económicos de su familia; dos buscadores de oro aficionados sufren en las montañas un terrible accidente que pone a prueba su amistad; la muerte de dos vagabundos y el descubrimiento de unas ruinas misteriosas perturban la celebración de una boda; un hombre casado y su amante emprenden un viaje a la isla de Estrómboli para auxiliar a alguien muy importante para ambos… Los ocho relatos que forman parte de este volumen plantean preguntas como: ¿dónde se hallan los límites de las obligaciones familiares? ¿A qué estamos dispuestos para lograr lo que deseamos? ¿En qué medida los sacrificios realizados alteran esos objetivos? Lo que parece el fin de la relación entre dos personas ¿puede ser en realidad el comienzo de otra más poderosa pero completamente distinta?
