Synopsis "Volver (in Spanish)"

La vuelta de un soldado de la guerra de Corea y su intento por reconciliarse con las personas y el lugar de donde procede.
 
 
El cuerpo de un amigo destrozado por la metralla, la voz de un hombre que pide clemencia, la mano de una niña que asoma escarbando entre la basura para encontrar algo de comer...Hay imágenes que vuelven una y otra vez a la mente de Frank Money, un veterano de la guerra de Corea que ahora vuelve a Estados Unidos en busca de olvido y afecto. Corren los años cincuenta del siglo pasado y las heridas de Frank no son solo físicas: su patria es racista, su familia ha acumulado mucho odio, y el regreso parece más un camino hacia el infierno que una vuelta al hogar. Su destino es Georgia porque Frank quiere rescatar y devolver a casa a su hermana Cee, casada con un chulo que la abandonó a los pocos días de la boda, y empleada en casa de un médico sin escrúpulos. Es la determinación por salvar a esa mujer frágil lo que llevará a Frank a asumir sus culpas y saldar cuentas con lo que fue su vida. Ahí, en ese ir y venir de emociones hondas , brilla el talento de Toni Morrison, una mujer que lleva el dolor en la punta de los dedos y lo gobierna con pocas y buenas palabras. "A mis ochenta y un años, me siento atenta, vital, yo diría que espléndida...cuando escribo." Toni Morrison

(Ohio, 1931 - New York, 2019) Chloe Ardelia Wofford, known under the pseudonym Toni Morrison, is an African American storyteller. She alternated her job as a Humanities professor at Princeton University with literary activity. In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, especially the situation of women. She was the first black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. She died in August 2019 in the small New York village of Grand View-on-Hudson at the age of eighty-eight.

In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, as well as other themes such as identity, memory, racism, or cultural resistance. Among her most notable novels are Beloved, with which she won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, The Bluest Eye, and Song of Solomon.

Her literary style combines deep psychological introspection with unique lyricism, marking a before and after in American literature. Through her work, Morrison left a timeless legacy, giving voice to silenced stories and challenging dominant power structures.
