See our selectionEn Los Continentes del Adentro, María Elena Morán construye un universo profundamente original, en el que se despliega una trama de gran intensidad. La historia de Sofía, una joven que, tras una ruptura amorosa y en medio de una relación conflictiva con su madre, descubre cartas y diarios ocultos de su abuela Aída, una mujer marcada por el estigma de la locura. Aída fue internada décadas atrás en un hospital psiquiátrico en la misteriosa isla de Salos, luego de afirmar que su nieta era una sirena a la que debía guiar de regreso al mar. Movida por el deseo de reconstruir la historia silenciada de su familia, Sofía emprende un viaje a esa isla (hoy abandonada por el Estado y transformada en una comunidad autogestionada por antiguas pacientes). Salos es un territorio a la vez real y mítico, donde la locura, el exilio y la resistencia se entrelazan. En ese escenario, a través de notas escondidas en libros y rastros de una abuela pintora y rebelde, Sofía desentierra la historia familiar.
