Jules Verne reader

The novel takes us to southern Spain, to a small village in Andalusia in the early fifties, where the boy "Nino" lives, the son of a Civil Guard, a double life between a harsh reality imposed by political repression, and another world opened to him by his discovery of Jules Verne's books. Through a mysterious friendship with "Portuguese Pippi" who lives in the mill and around him a halo of secrets, Nino begins to pay attention to what is not said in the village: about the fighters still in the mountains, and about the silence of the adults full of fear and memory. Reading here is not just a hobby, but a gateway that allows him to understand himself and the world around him, and grants him a new language to question his confusing reality.
