Sinopsis

When you’re young, out there is war. And at home, everything feels heavy and smells musty. Out there is freedom and everything is fresh air. Adrià Guinart decides to flee his home to go to war. War is the allure of the unknown, it’s discovering the world, love and sex—but also responsibility, ambition, and evil, aspects of the adult world that repel him.

Are you young, or have you been? Surely you remember how much war erupts inside when, of all that’s out there, half the world calls to you and the other half you want to leave behind.

Quanta, quanta guerra... speaks of the universal need to leave the nest and discover the world. Wonderful words written forty years ago by Mercè Rodoreda, spoken by a young person today.
