Abstract: It begins with two disappearances: that of a deaf boy from a small town in Guatemala, and of Clara, the daughter of a rich banker and kindly tyrant. Is there a connection between the disappearances? What roles do Clara's lover and family lawyer, her bodyguards, and the doctors in a shady hospital play in it? Can any form of love and justice exist amidst violence? Los sordos is a absorbing thriller and a ruthless portrait of today's Guatemala.
