Time and distance have strained their relationship. But when Milena receives a call from a hospital in Illinois, she doesn\u2019t hesitate. Her mother, Jana\u2014elderly, widowed, and hospitalized\u2014wants to see her daughter again.\r\nAs Milena flies over the Atlantic, she reflects on her own life and that of her family. Her memories stretch across Prague, India, the United States, and Spain. She revisits her parents\u2019 migration, their motives, and the lasting consequences.\r\nThe trauma of exile\u2014of never truly belonging\u2014becomes the invisible thread binding Milena and Jana.\r\nWhen they finally reunite in the U.S., Milena will discover that the end of life can also be one of the most profound and beautiful times to share with a mother.\r\n\r\nIn <strong><em>The Haiku Translator<\/em><\/strong>, we learn more about Jana's life: a childhood shaped by patriarchy and violence; Japanese language classes in Prague that led her to translate haikus; and the one-way journey she embarked on to escape the harsh reality of life in the former Czechoslovakia.\r\nNow seventy-seven, widowed and estranged from her children, Jana struggles to find her place in a world that increasingly renders her invisible.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>RELEVANT INFORMATION:<\/strong> Monika Zgustova is a Czech-born writer, journalist, and translator living in Barcelona. With autobiographical undertones, her novels <em>We Saw Better in the Dark<\/em> and <em>The Haiku Translator<\/em> explore identity, exile, solitude, and uprootedness. Through the story of a mother and daughter, Monika evokes the experience of generations who have built new homes far from their native lands.\r\nIdeal for a character-driven audiovisual project, with strong, consistent, and complex female leads, both novels can be combined and adapted to different settings.\r\nZgustova\u2019s work has been translated into ten languages and received both critical acclaim and commercial success. She is the recipient of the<strong> Amat-Piniella Prize<\/strong>, the <strong>C\u00e1lamo Prize<\/strong>, the <strong>Ciutat de Barcelona Prize<\/strong>, and the <strong>Merc\u00e8 Rodoreda Prize<\/strong>, among others.\r\n\r\nWhat the critics say:\r\n\r\n\u201cA novel so intense it reads like a true story.\u201d \u2014 <em>Todo Literatura<\/em>\r\n\u201cUnusual, singular, and deeply cosmopolitan.\u201d \u2014 <em>Pol\u00edtica &amp; Prosa<\/em>\r\n\u201cMonika Zgustova\u2019s new novel is a literary reinterpretation of the painful themes of family and exile, set against the backdrop of 20th-century history, written in a refined, nostalgic, crystalline style. This is an exceptional novel about tenderness and courage in difficult times.\u201d \u2014 Radka Denemarkov\u00e1\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>AUDIOVISUAL POTENTIAL:<\/strong> TV Series, Miniseries, Film, TV Movie.\r\n<strong>AVAILABLE LANGUAGES:<\/strong> Spanish, Catalan, Czech, and (soon) English.","articulo__autor":[3573],"_thumbnail_id":14026,"articulo__featured_gallery":"","articulo__galeria_archivos":"","articulo__fecha_de_publicacion":"","articulo__idiomas":"","articulo__dossier":"","idarticle":1890},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>We Saw Better in the Dark Saga (Bilog\u00eda Nos ve\u00edamos mejor en la oscuridad) - Scenic\u00a0Rights<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scenicrights.com\/en\/projects\/bilogia-nos-veiamos-mejor-en-la-oscuridad\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"We Saw Better in the Dark Saga (Bilog\u00eda Nos ve\u00edamos mejor en la oscuridad) - Scenic\u00a0Rights\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Una madre y una hija separadas por el exilio.
