Overview
«Armablanca es, en primer lugar, un triángulo amoroso de cinco lados. Pero es también, creo, un mensaje en botella al mar del pasado.» Lydiette Carrión
El día de su boda, Carmen deja plantado a Dionisio. Él logra sobreponerse gracias a su vocación por la cocina, que con el tiempo le permite abrir un concurrido restaurante llamado Armablanca. Sin embargo, años después, en pleno movimiento estudiantil de 1968, Carmen reaparece inesperadamente y le pide a su viejo amor que esconda a su marido, un reconocido escritor perseguido por causas políticas. Así empieza la estrecha interrelación entre el individuo y la sociedad, penetrando en las arenas movedizas del amor, la mentira y la traición. Humor, tragedia y cocina son los ingredientes de este platillo literario que nos enfrenta a los grandes dilemas humanos.
