Only Smoke
A son follows the breadcrumbs through a volume of Grimms' Fairy Tales in search of his estranged father On his eighteenth birthday, Carlos receives a strange gift: his father, whom he never knew, has died and left him his apartment. As he goes through the man's belongings, Carlos comes across a manuscript that tells the unsettling story of a secret affair, a love child, and a butterfly. Is this a confession or pure fiction? As Carlos begins to make the apartment his own, he immerses himself in the tales of the Brothers Grimm left on the nightstand, embarking on a journey that will bring him closer to his father and teach him how to navigate the invisible borders between reality and fantasy, sanity and madness. At once wildly unpredictable, darkly entertaining, and surprisingly tender, Only Smoke is an ode to the imagination and the transformative power of literature.
