Rainbow days, by: Antonio Scarmeta

It has been fifteen years since his military coup and his control of power. General Bionche decides to respond to popular and international pressures and to hold a presidential referendum to determine his fate. He summons the Minister of Interior, advertising expert and former detainee Adrian Betini, to persuade him to lead a campaign to succeed Bionche. However, the leader of the opposition coalition composed of sixteen conflicting parties proposes a crazy idea to Betini: managing the campaign for the "No" vote, which is only embodied in a short television advertisement. Instead of the usual focus on massacres, detainees, and the horrors of the past phase, Betini suggests that the campaign's title be: Happiness is Coming. Will a fifteen-minute advertisement succeed in overthrowing a dictatorial rule that lasted fifteen years? In an optimistic poetic style, Skarmeta tells a true story of struggle about hope and joy, in the darkest times, in a country longing for freedom.
