Description

In a mist‑laden autumn landscape, two young seminarians wander the quiet roads surrounding their village, their banter drifting between idle chatter and deeper doubts. Juan, once a promising disciple, confronts a growing disillusionment with the Church, declaring he will never return to the seminary, while his companion Martín struggles to understand the sudden shift. Their conversation reveals a clash of belief and skepticism, set against the stark backdrop of a world that feels both beautiful and oppressive.

The novel follows Juan’s restless search for a purpose beyond the cloistered life he was groomed for, as he wrestles with questions of faith, identity, and freedom. Along the winding, leaf‑strewn path, he encounters the ordinary hardships of rural life and the lingering shadows of institutional corruption. Listeners are invited to join his introspective journey, feeling the chill of the fog and the weight of the choices that will shape his future.
