ENGLISH DESCRIPTION - That's your problem. You can't hesitate in the midst of a people's war, fathead.
- Victory or death, as you say.
- Rather victory or death!
- And have you thought what would happen if we don't win? Are you sure you'd rather die?
- No, because we will be victorious!
- And if we are not?
- If not, nothing, because we will win, I tell you!
It is 1975, and two young members of different armed groups keep their lifelong friendship alive by meeting whenever possible in the interstices allowed by their revolutionary activities. Us Two in the Storm accounts the day-to-day life of two fighters from two different units, of their violent acts, and of those affected by them: the victims and their families, but also the loved ones of the militants themselves. It is a story of enthusiasm and doubt, of boldness and rivalry, of the glare that comes from fixing your eyes unceasingly upon a bright imperious sun, from the insane dynamics of a turbulent era, where time will play against everyone and will make way to death's power. Unsettling, moving, and close, this novel will take us back to the nineteen sixties in a new manner: not avoiding paradoxes and revealing the human beings sheltered under the banners of the most extreme political passions.
