Synopsis "77 (in Spanish)"

Invierno de 1977. El terror patrulla las calles. La repre-sión acorrala. Astrólogos, videntes, profecías y maleficios. El ocultismo impera sobre la razón aniquilada. El profesor Gómez, homosexual, cabecita negra, simpatizante del peronismo, no puede refugiarse en la literatura, tampoco huir del presente que socava sus certezas. Un estudiante secundario chupado en su clase sobre el Facundo. Al acostarse con un policía, el profesor busca información sobre su alumno secuestrado.En la línea de La lengua del malón (2003) y El amor argentino (2004), Guillermo Saccomanno escribió una novela lunática y macabra sobre la cotidianidad bajo el terror, una historia que fascina y espanta en su desborde.
