“A story without a lead character is a story that cannot begin”.
El libro de Toji
(Tori's Book) is a trip that begins the day when The Author finds his name,
by chance, linked to the life of a soldier of the Spanish Civil War. A
transmedia piece of documentary self-fiction which dives itself into the
archives in search of memory. An artefact against silence.
From a residence for writers in South Korea called Toji (in English: land),
to a prison in Orduña, we accompany the journey of an identity that
unfolds, that appears and disappears, like a ghost. A single desire: to
bridge the no man's land that exists between the living and the dead,
between us and our disappeared ones.
