CIELO DE TANGO (SKY OF TANGO)
Cielo de Tango recreates Buenos Aires history by means of the saga of two families in the oposites extremes of the social scale. A blasting cocktail of love, struggle, cows, tenderness, betrayal and a risky and sensual dance that merges them in an embrace: the tango.

A VEINTE AÑOS, LUZ (MY NAME IS LIGHT,BLOOMSBURY)
Luz is on holiday in Madrid. But secretly, Luz has a mission - to find her real father, one of the many political activists in Argentina who "disappeared". Her mother was killed trying to flee the country and Luz was brought up by a wealthy family who want to keep the secret buried.
