La liebre mecánica

Lazarillo Prize 2021

Nana is not well. Her boyfriend, Cuervo, hasn’t been the same for a while. He doesn’t speak to her, he’s nowhere to be seen outside of school, and seems to be getting further and further away from her.

In the group of friends, nobody understands what is wrong with him. When Kike has a motorcycle accident, which he badly needs for his job and to bring a little money home, Cuervo decides to take charge of the situation and take those small bets that until now were only a matter of having a little fun, to the next level.

One needs to do whatever it takes to help one’s buddy, right? But all that glitters is not gold and he will be trapped in a web of lies and trickery from which he will be unable to get out of on his own, destroying his relationship, his friends and his family along the way.
