The night was spreading its black cloak, and the sky looked like a gigantic female covering her body from head to toe. Mu’ayrid was lying in the complete darkness like a sick cat stretching out its feet in the water and resting its back on the towering mountains, which were like giant sheep headbutting the sky. Nasser stood at The beach, and the wave was combing the strands of sand wet with water and salt, and close to his head was the throat of a seagull that had perhaps lost its way to shelter, and its voice had a hoarseness resembling the voice of an old man sick with a cough.
Angel Santiago, the ambitious young dreamer, and Bergara Gray, the famous and experienced thief, benefit from a general presidential pardon and are released from prison on the same day.
Santiago seeks revenge for his past and the harsh prison experience, with a major theft that he hopes will build a new future for him, and he helps him carry it out after Gray hesitates, who only seeks to restore his previous life.

In his award-winning novel, Planeta, Scarmetta tells a warm, emotional story about three people united by love, friendship, and hope for a better future, in a country still living in the shadows of a defunct dictatorship.
There are things that people cannot describe.
There are words that we cannot accept, trivial things that make the only hope of our heart go away, that make our hopes disappointed and thrown away without fulfillment, those wishes that took most of our time to achieve. A few words from them changed the course of our lives, they turned that beautiful dream into a hideous nightmare. That paradise that we imagined was nothing but hell. We were living those dreams with great hope, but we were very disappointed. We were tired and despaired of them, but we will not give up, and we will not let their words and actions affect our dreams. The desires that the heart desires force us to bear them, force us to resist them. We will not break easily, except when our dreams are achieved. We will break because we achieved the desire of our heart after long patience. We will break. We will gather together again. We will be stronger than we were before. Be sure that you can.
