About This Book

L'obra narra el trasllat d'un home malalt que abandona la ciutat i s'instal·la a la vora del mar amb la família; el pare, consumit per la malaltia, observa la platja mentre el fill, recuperat i enrogallit per l'aire marí, s'ha d'adaptar al poble. El nen mostra actituds urbanes que provoquen burla i enveja entre la canalla local, i la rivalitat infantil escalfa tensions socials i personals. Aquesta dinàmica d'orgull i ressentiment condueix la colla de nens a organitzar una sortida cap a un illot proper, on la confrontació infantil esdevé possible.
