Los nuevos

Thiago, Pilar and Bruno cross the unstable border from adolescence to adulthood between a burning summer and an isolating winter, with Buenos Aires in the background like a labyrinth they begin to decipher. How to grow up when adults seem like enemies? What to do when faced with the demand to be something that was not chosen? How many forms can love and desire take? Marked by the loss of his mother, Thiago seeks to find his footing in a world from which he feels expelled. From a university in the United States, Bruno tries to find a language that identifies him in the midst of an alien geography and language. Pilar, who has always acted as the center of gravity of the group, is in charge of sustaining what remains of that substitute family while her own falls apart. Pedro Mairal builds a moving, authentic and powerful novel about the helplessness and the abyss that opens when leaving behind childhood and its certainties. Los nuevos is a tender and fierce portrait of three friends who rehearse their own path in a volatile setting, where the only thing that remains firm is the bond that unites them.
