"Nothing is guaranteed to us. Playthings of the luck that has fallen to us, we laugh to deceive despair or see the laughter to which we are entitled fill with tears. Our life is then a sad comedy, where we die laughing so hard. And love is only allowed in improbable things. It is the flower of evil that comes our way. Balm or poison?
\nThis is how one could characterise the narrator's life journey, which is told differently in the novel and in the screenplay he is writing for the cinema. It is the nervous story of journalist Gabriel Rocha, an incorrigible lover of women, suddenly touched by the fright of homosexual attraction and by the refusal of old age guessed at in the first wrinkles and in the mirrors.
\nBut also the life of each of the characters he summons. The gay Luso-Dutch actor who joins Gabriel and Clara and is far from being the withered apex of the love triangle. The widow who, at her husband's wake, falls into the poet's arms and never leaves. The kitchen helper who has a thing for scars. The restaurant owner who recruits station girls on Facebook. The director who sees in the clich\u00e9s of laughter and tears the best in our human imperfection. The homophobic writer who, after all, can't do without a meat on a spit dinner in a gay bar. The lover who talks, horizontally, about the issues and problems of the protagonist's life. The cook who is bullied by a group of children.
\nAnd other characters that, with those indicated, share the search for the happiness of imperfect things. They will not all be saved by laughter."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
