performs in a Casino in the same city where Enrique and he went to school. Enrique Goded reads “The Visit” with great interest. He is moved by the first part, which deals with their childhood, his love story with Ignacio, broken up by Father Manolo who, in love with Ignacio, expels Enrique from school so as not to have to compete with him for Ignacio’s love. The second part, when Ignacio, who has now become Zahara, visits the school, which intrigues and disconcerts him, but also interests him. He decides to adapt “The Visit” and make it into a film. When he tells Ignacio Rodrguez, whose stage name is ngel Andrade (he insists on being called this by his friends), explodes with joy. He only imposes one condition, that he acts in the film. Enrique doesn’t mind, but when Ignacio (ngel) asks to play the lead, the transvestite Zahara, Enrique tells him that he isn’t right for the character (he also doesn’t understand why). He is too masculine and too well built - physically he is just the opposite to play a character like Zahara. Ignacio (ngel) insists, he asks Enrique to trust him. Enrique replies that he finds it very hard to trust him and they end up having a violent argument. Ignacio (ngel) leaves and says if he doesn’t play Zahara there won’t be any film. In the days following the argument, Enrique can’t get the mysterious visitor out of his mind. He decides to investigate further into the strangers visit, after all that’s a storyteller’s job, investigating his characters in depth in order to understand and portray them better. Enrique discovers that the attractive boy who came to ask for work is not Ignacio Rodrguez but an impostor who had access to the real Ignacio. He also discovers that the real Ignacio died three years ago, shortly after writing “The Visit”. Enrique auditions him, gives him the part and at the same time decides to make him his lover. He wants to know the impostor’s reasons for pretending to be Igancio and how much longer he will continue. He also wants to know how Ignacio, his old school friend died and he doesn’t care what price he has to pay for this adventure. Many months of preparation go by. The first day of shooting “The Visit” arrives, and so does the last one. Enrique often has sex with ngel, but it is only physical. He doesn’t manage to discover anything about Ignacio’s death and Angel’s mystery remains intact. Driven by the same suicidal curiosity that led him to work with ngel Andrade whilst knowing he was an impostor, Enrique lets Father Manolo tell him the true story of Ignacio as an adult and as he listens he feels like the woman who threw herself into the pool of crocodiles and hugged them while they ate her. |
