ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For two years I wasn't able to write or to go online. It almost feels like coming home. I don't know anyone that continues to go online. Or maybe nobody would admit it.

In the destroyed city of Berlin in 2039, Ana is fifteen years old and struggles to survive. The weather makes life difficult, there is not enough food for everyone, and the freedom they once knew is now nonexistent. The city and life as they knew it has completely disappeared. Now, after many years of war, the population is subject to the orders of a strict military regime.

Immersed in this bleak universe, Ana achieves the impossible: to regain access to the Internet and, against the rules established by the dictatorship, begins to write a blog. Soon Ben contacts her, with whom she first chats online and later meets in person. Ana is a strong woman, and despite the harshness of her reality, she looks for a world that is not only different but better, driven by the memories of those that are no longer there, friendship, and ... love.

An intense and devastating story, yet full of poetry and hope.
