Villarruel Stories

"January and December" is a story about bonds that should never exist, and the weight of all that remains unspoken. In the harsh and volatile climate of Argentine politics in 2027, the meeting between Victoria and Federico is unlikely-yet inevitable. Every glance, every gesture, every fleeting encounter seems to draw them closer, and push them apart, all at once. She, trapped within a system she no longer believes she can transform, embodies the solemnity of a power already in decline. He, rising yet hidden, carries the restless force of a movement that dares to defy that very order. In this first chapter of their story, tension coils but never snaps; romance hovers but never takes form. It grows instead like an unshakable shadow, stretching silently across their days. The tale unfolds as a choreography of silences and fleeting gestures-small choices that bend the weight of a year, and the fate of two lives.
