Bolero for Surfing in Moravia

fiction⎪short⎪bitter comedy

What begins as a friend’s trip to sing a serenade, ends up as an unexpected and lonely return.

Summary

Cabeto is a Venezuelan immigrant in Czech Republic and today, he has started a long journey across the country to give a serenade.
His future depends on this serenade, so much, that his best friends (Venezuelan immigrants also) arrived from Barcelona and Berlin to support him.
What began as pleasant gathering of old friends with music and beautiful landscapes, derived into a crossroad where the paths can only be taken alone, without any company.

Bolero for Surfing in Moravia is a bitter comedy in which the spirit of the Caribbean permeates the membranes of Czech culture, while the characters of the story make a trip across the consequences of such process.
