Pictures of you when you start to get old

Photos of you when you start to get old deals with loss and everything that surrounds loss, that process of always difficult reconstruction that comes once the life you wanted to have was not possible. These beautiful and melancholy interconnected stories deal, in their own way, with all the subtle disappointments – and surprises – that come from ceasing to be young and finally knowing that you are ceasing to be. It’s about friends and relationships, about the loneliness that inhabits all those holes. It’s about memory, about the way we live with the past, about how it seeps in and contaminates us with ghosts and with places we left and can’t return to.

The protagonists of these stories are very young at the beginning of the book. But they are going to know life and their defeats throughout it… They almost form part of a single novel, since they all live the same story: university, disenchantment, the first blows. They aspire to be doctors, lawyers, but also rock musicians, and listen to songs that are the soundtrack first of love and then of heartbreak. They are faithful to their desires and unfaithful to those who are already strangers.
