One summer, one town, and one heart about to awaken.

When Mateo returns to town for a funeral, he finds himself drawn back to the memories of his adolescence: that summer that marked a before and after. It was then that friendship became a refuge, art became a driving force, and two unexpected boys made him rethink everything he thought he knew about love, desire, and himself.

Bruno Darío 's The Summer the Flowers Burned is an intimate, tender, and honest account of emotional and sexual awakening, the courage to find oneself, and the warmth of real connections. A queer romance about first times, open wounds, and unexpected beauty in the most mundane places.
