Berto and his friends do not stand out for their grades or popularity. They are “the ones at the back of the line,” the ones who are there but no one looks at, the ones who do not receive invitations or rumors. Until a mysterious graffiti on the blackboard changes the pace of their class… and perhaps also their place in the world.
With sensitivity, humor, and a great dose of nostalgia, Pablo Carreiro signs a youth LGTBIQ+ graphic novel that portrays adolescence with honesty. A story of friendship, self-discovery, and visibility, set in the year 2022, where although we did not win Eurovision, we learned to believe we were the best.
