Francisco, a wounded, despairing sixteen-year-old Republican guard in
the Spanish Civil War, is trying to flee to freedom by crossing the
French border. In his escape, he encounters an old remote lighthouse,
far from the warring factions. He is granted shelter by Telmo, the aging
operator of the lighthouse. As Francisco recuperates, Telmo's tales of
epic adventurers who sailed the lost seas and discovered worlds unknown
reignite the spark of life in the young soldier. By one of the most
brilliant new talents in comic art in Spain, author of the world-wide
bestseller Wrinkles.
