Synopsis "Un maestro (in Spanish)"

El protagonista de esta historia es Orlando "Nano" Balbo, discípulo de Paulo Freire. Secuestrado el 24 de marzo del 76, logró sobrevivir a la cárcel pero quedó sordo por efecto de la tortura. Se exilió en Roma y, a su vuelta en 1985, partió hacia Huncal, un paraje perdido en la precordillera patagónica. Allí se dedicaría a la alfabetización de una comunidad mapuche, una experiencia educativa antológica. Años más tarde, también participaría en las luchas docentes de Neuquén. El Nano y Saccomanno se conocieron cuando hacían la colimba. Cuando volvieron a encontrarse en 2008, el Nano le dijo: "Yo cuento y vos escribís". El resultado es esta obra conmovedora en la que se funden lo individual y lo social. Una crónica íntima y colectiva de una generación, el relato arrebatador sobre un hombre consecuente con sus ideas, que se impuso a su dolor personal y no perdió la esperanza de cambiar el mundo.
