Overview
"Durante dos años no pude escribir ni conectarme a la red. Se siente casi como volver a casa. No conozco a nadie que siga conectándose. Aunque igual nadie lo admitiría".
En la destruida ciudad de Berlín de 2039, Ana tiene quince años y lucha por sobrevivir. El clima hace la vida difícil, no hay suficiente comida para todos y la libertad que algún día conocieron ahora es inexistente. La ciudad y su vida civil desapareció por completo; ahora, tras años de guerra, los habitantes están sometidos a las órdenes de un estricto régimen militar.
Inmersa en este universo desolador, Ana logra lo imposible: recuperar la conexión a internet y, en contra de las reglas establecidas por la dictadura, comienza a escribir un blog. Pronto la contacta Ben, con quien primero chatea y luego se encuentra en persona. Ana es fuerte y, a pesar de la crudeza de su realidad, busca un mundo no sólo diferente sino mejor, impulsada por los recuerdos de los que ya no están, la amistad y... el amor.
Una historia intensa y devastadora, pero llena de poesía y esperanza.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
For two years I wasn’t able to write or to go online. It almost feels like coming home. I don’t know anyone that continues to go online. Or maybe nobody would admit it.
In the destroyed city of Berlin in 2039, Ana is fifteen years old and struggles to survive. The weather makes life difficult, there is not enough food for everyone, and the freedom they once knew is now nonexistent. The city and life as they knew it has completely disappeared. Now, after many years of war, the population is subject to the orders of a strict military regime.
Immersed in this bleak universe, Ana achieves the impossible: to regain access to the Internet and, against the rules established by the dictatorship, begins to write a blog. Soon Ben contacts her, with whom she first chats online and later meets in person. Ana is a strong woman, and despite the harshness of her reality, she looks for a world that is not only different but better, driven by the memories of those that are no longer there, friendship, and ... love.
An intense and devastating story, yet full of poetry and hope.
