Amid oppressive rules, secrets, and nighttime escapes, the confinement threatens to destroy their relationship.<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\n<i><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\n<b><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Lucas travels with his boyfriend Javier to Jovita, a small town in C\u00f3rdoba, when Javier\u2019s parents contract COVID. The idea is to support them, to stay close during the illness. But upon arrival, quarantine locks them into an unexpected place: the convent of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Pinerolo, now turned into an isolation center.<b><\/b><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The room they are assigned is tiny, almost suffocating: ten square meters, a bunk bed, a crucifix nailed to the wall, and an image of Saint Joseph holding the child\u2014always present, always watching. Outside, the silent corridors of the convent; inside, a coexistence that begins to strain from day one.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Lucas doesn\u2019t fit in. A man from Buenos Aires working in insurance, he carries a past marked by religion and abandonment. He smokes secretly by the window, responds with irony to the convent\u2019s rules, and clashes head-on with the stern authority of the Mother Superior, Sister Amedea. He is also hiding something important: he left for the trip without informing his workplace, and the consequences are beginning to catch up with him.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Javier, on the other hand, tries to hold things together. He clings to his phone, to calls with Pipo, the town\u2019s doctor, searching for updates on his parents. The worry runs through him, but he manages it in silence, as best he can.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The days blur into one another. The confinement weighs heavily. The room seems to shrink. Their relationship begins to fracture in small gestures, in arguments that grow, in increasingly long silences. Lucas starts sneaking out at night, slipping through the convent\u2019s dark corridors. Outside, he finds something like air: an unexpected friendship with Carolina, an eight-year-old girl who has lived there since losing her parents, and a quiet complicity with Sister Rosa, the only one who seems to truly see him.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">But everything builds up\u2014lies, exhaustion, anguish. When Javier discovers the nighttime escapes, the tension explodes. The argument is brutal, unfiltered. And Lucas, overwhelmed, breaks the one thing that seemed untouchable: the image of Saint Joseph.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">That same night, the worst news arrives. Osvaldo, Javier\u2019s father, is intubated. The farewell call happens at a distance, mediated by a screen. Shortly after, he dies.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Amid the grief, Lucas and Javier manage to send Claudia, Javier\u2019s mother, the photo album they had brought as a final gesture. That night, they go down to the convent\u2019s vegetable garden. They don\u2019t speak much. They work the soil with their hands. They cry. For the first time since they arrived, something settles.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The next day, the convent shifts its rhythm. The sisters cook <i>bagna c\u00e0uda<\/i> to celebrate the order\u2019s anniversary and to say goodbye to them. In the kitchen, among steam and pots, Lucas and Javier begin to move together again. Carolina joins them. Sister Amedea, softer now, shares that a family is expected to adopt the girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">They all sit around the same pot. They share the food, the silence, what remains. Javier is still broken, but he looks at Lucas and, for the first time in days, thanks him.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Amid loss, confinement, and everything that has been broken, something begins to heal.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">RELEVANT FACTS: <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Jos\u00e9 Ignacio Scasserra is an Argentine writer, philosophy professor, and academic, considered one of the leading emerging voices in Argentine literature.<b><\/b><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">His novel <i>San Jos\u00e9 dormido<\/i> was awarded the <b>Futurock Novel Prize 2024<\/b>. Set during the pandemic, it explores encounter, faith, and coexistence within a powerful narrative microcosm: the convent. With its rules, silences, and religious imagery, it becomes both an oppressive and luminous setting where characters in crisis converge.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">For audiovisual adaptation, the novel offers an almost theatrical staging and a growing tension that works as an emotional thriller. It is an intimate story with a strong emotional charge, ideal for a film or a short miniseries format.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">AUDIOVISUAL POTENTIAL: <\/span><\/b><span
