Miguel is a dreamer. The candy seller lives with his family in a small Andalusian village. He is not business-minded; instead, he prefers to play around with his children and dreams of becoming a writer. However, he is convinced that only those who have experienced something extraordinary can write. So Miguel changes his life: he moves with his family to the Basque Country and becomes a bodyguard for a politician whom he is supposed to protect from ETA attacks. It’s a risky step that comes at a high price. Judith Vanistendael and Mark Bellido tell the story of an idealist whose life is interrupted by raw violence. Judith Vanistendael's crayon drawings immerse the Andalusian summer in vibrant warmth, while the constant threat in the Basque Country is depicted in leaden gray heaviness, illustrating the danger in Miguel's life as a ferocious beast ready to pounce.
