Synopsis "La Ignorancia (in Spanish)"

Una mujer y un hombre se encuentran por casualidad durante su viaje de regreso al país natal del que emigraron hace veinte años. ¿Podrán reemprender una extraña historia de amor, apenas iniciada entonces en su tierra ? El caso es que, tras tan larga ausencia, «sus recuerdos no se parecen». Porque «nuestra memoria, la pobre, ¿qué puede hacer ? Sólo es capaz de retener del pasado una miserable pequeña parcela sin que nadie sepa por qué precisamente ésa y no otra…». Vivimos sumidos en un inmenso olvido, y no queremos saberlo. Sólo aquellos que, como Ulises, vuelven después de veinte años a su Ítaca natal pueden ver de cerca, atónitos y deslumbrados, a la diosa de la ignorancia.

Milan Kundera (/'mɪlan 'kundɛra/ Brno, April 1, 1929-Paris, July 11, 2023) was a Czech novelist, short story writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Since 1975, he lived with his wife in France, where he acquired citizenship in 1987.

Kundera's most famous work is The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Before the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the communist regime in Czechoslovakia banned his books. He led a low-profile life and rarely spoke to the media. He was thought to be a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature and was also nominated for other awards.

He received the Jerusalem Prize in 1985, the Austrian State Prize for European Literature in 1987, and the Herder Prize in 2000. In 2021, he was awarded the Order of Merit by the president of Slovenia.
