The prominent Chilean writer, better known as "Chascas", shows us his new literary work Hashtag. An intriguing story that tries to challenge the reality of a society submerged in the world of social networks. What can you do when a simple hashtag isn’t enough to show what you are feeling?
Eric is a guy who has it all: parents who consider him the best son in the world, a mansion in Los Angeles, an unconditional friend and a classmate who is as mysterious as attractive. Chava, on the other hand, has lost everything but the will to live. He has been hospitalized for months and from his bed he yearns for the noise of city streets, his home, and a girl with a dragonfly tattoo.They’ve never met, but life takes care of uniting them. What could two such different people have in common? Very little, except that they have decided to hide their true feelings in order to survive.
Can Chava assemble the pieces of his past and come to terms with the present? Will Eric be able to confess the terrible secret that tortures him and which provoked his parents’ accident?
Armed only with a telephone and Instagram, they will have to face their own demons, without filters or hashtags.
