| Reflection on the role of secular violence in a community, a critical parable about Spanish life and a study of a marginalized existence, The Wars of Our Ancestors brings us closer, with subtle humor and absolutely masterful language, to essential problems such as freedom and human responsibility. Over the course of seven nights, and with a glass of anise in between, the inmate Pacífico Pérez will remember his life, guided by the questions of Dr. Burgueño, doctor at the prison sanatorium where he is interned. Pacifico's father, grandfather, great-grandfather surrounded his childhood with the obsession of his wars - the civil war, the African war and the Carlist war - and wanted to make him a participant and possible emulator of lost glories. But Pacífico is a naive young man with heightened sensitivity, capable of tasting the beehives naked and feeling the pain of the recently pruned tree or the voices of the river. However, he too will end up killing unexpectedly, suddenly, senselessly. |
