A bold and entertaining dark comedy from bestselling author F\u00e9lix J. Palma.<\/strong><\/em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nReturning from a marathon of conferences in Boston\u2014and still queasy from a bout of turbulence on the plane that could make history\u2014Ernesto only wants to collapse on the couch and forget the world. But waiting in his fridge is a surprise from Berta, his charming and ever-thoughtful neighbor: the perfect recipe to win over M\u00f3nica at their romantic dinner the next evening. What should have been a simple chicken dish\u2026 has mysteriously turned into \u201cvenco a la molinera.\u201d\r\n\r\nIntrigued, he heads to the supermarket and discovers that venco is a bird with blue feathers and orange plumage that everyone seems to know\u2014except him. Amused yet challenged, he decides to take the risk and cook it exactly as Berta suggested. The dinner with M\u00f3nica begins promisingly, until she drops the bomb: she doesn\u2019t know what chicken is. Her comment opens an absurd but insurmountable rift in the evening. Ernesto begins to suspect that something is very, very wrong.\r\n\r\nThe confirmation comes with his encyclopedia: chicken does not exist. It never has. In its place, venco reigns supreme. The only logical explanation\u2014or close enough\u2014points to the strange turbulence on the flight, which may have thrown him into a parallel reality. With his heart pounding, Ernesto goes out to explore and confirms that everything, from menus to billboards, revolves around venco.\r\n\r\nHis obsession escalates: Ernesto drives aimlessly to a farm, stands before a pen full of real vencos, and in a fit, begins killing them. The farmer chases him away with gunshots. He returns to the city, feathers still clinging to his jacket, with one clear thought: he will not give up.\r\n\r\nAt dawn, he places an ad in the newspaper calling for \u201cchicken lovers\u201d to share recipes and comfort. He imagines other passengers from the flight, equally lost, reuniting to form a secret brotherhood devoted to keeping alive the memory of a species that, in his world, was as common as air.\r\n\r\nBut back home, even Berta\u2014his emotional anchor\u2014seems to belong fully to this impostor world. Sitting beside the phone, he stares at a strange ornament he doesn\u2019t remember buying and wonders: if chicken has vanished without a trace, what else might have disappeared?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>RELEVANT INFORMATION:<\/strong> F\u00e9lix J. Palma is a Spanish short story writer and novelist, winner of the <strong>Ignotus Award for Best Novel<\/strong>, the <strong>Luis Berenguer Prize<\/strong>, and the<strong> Ateneo de Sevilla Prize<\/strong>, among others.\r\n\r\n<em>Venco a la molinera<\/em> is a story that blends dark comedy with elements of science fiction and social satire, where an everyday item becomes the trigger for an existential crisis and a narrative of parallel realities. It stands out for the contrast between the domestic and the absurd, and for the irony, obsession, and romanticism of its protagonist. A fast-paced and humorous story, with a paranoid atmosphere halfway between the funny and the unsettling, offering infinite possibilities for development.\r\n\r\nThe story has strong audiovisual potential thanks to its sharp premise and irreverent tone, in the vein of<em> The Twilight Zone<\/em> or <em>Black Mirror<\/em> with a comic twist.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>AUDIOVISUAL
