Synopsis
One night in a penthouse in the Justicia neighborhood, the impossible happens, in a house where neither Bosco nor his gay friends had ever been: under the sky of Madrid. Time then rewinds to another penthouse, in similar circumstances, in the Salamanca neighborhood of the same city, which is a character in its own right in the story. A city that witnesses stories that end and stories that begin. The narration of loss, the chronicle of failure, and the unfolding of success. An unshakable spectator of the constant search for happiness through resilience and reinvention. Through the eyes of Bosco, a gay man, a Madrid dreamed of by many and lived by only a few is drawn.
“Bajo el cielo de Madrid is a whirlwind of emotions in which the author pushes the seams of his soul to the limit to tell without hesitation a life narrated from his deepest self. It is a provocative story in which the reader becomes an accomplice to a tale that shakes the very foundations of the writer himself” (Marc Calderó).
