Una historia llena de tensi?n y emoci?n donde la p?rdida y el sacrificio juegan un papel fundamental. Un camino hacia la libertad sin mirar atr?s.

«Y si nos hubi?ramos quedado, d?nde estar?amos ahora?, c?mo ser?an nuestras vidas?

Tras haber huido con su familia de los estragos de una guerra que desintegr? a su pa?s y luego de vivir en Per? durante varias d?cadas, Vera a?n conserva intacta la imagen de todo aquello que dej? atr?s. Acorralada por la soledad, revive sus primeros a?os junto a su hermano Alex y su amiga Misha. En medio de las bombas, los tres ni?os, como en un juego infantil, emprenden la formaci?n de su propio ej?rcito con la ilusi?n de salvarse de una guerra mayor. Qu? parte de Vera se qued? en su lugar de origen? Qu? busca recuperar al volver la vista atr?s? Su historia, como la de muchos exiliados, est? signada por una mezcla de renuncias y sacrificios, pero tambi?n por una fuerza que, silenciosamente, arrastra una corriente de esperanza capaz de resurgir en el momento menos pensado.

Contada en dos tiempos que encauzan la experiencia dividida de su protagonista, Casi todo desaparece reproduce, con notable dominio narrativo, el emocionante devenir de una memoria de heridas abiertas y valientes desaf?os.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A gripping and emotional story with sacrifice and loss at its center. A path to freedom without looking back.

"And if we had stayed, where would we be now? What would our lives be like?"

Decades after she and her family fled to Peru to escape a war that tore apart her country, Vera keeps alive the memory of all they've lost. In her solitude, she recalls her childhood with her brother, Alex, and friend Misha. As the bombs fell, the three children formed their own play army to stop the war from spreading. What part of herself did Vera leave behind in her homeland? What does she hope to regain by looking back? Her story, like that of many exiles, is marked by sacrifice and resignation, but also a silent current of hope that bursts forth unexpectedly.

Told in two timelines that reflect the protagonist's divided life, Almost Everything Disappears is a powerful narrative about wounds that are still raw and remembered bravery.
