In the frenetic final race of the world motorbike speed championships, Gaspar, a young motorcyclist who aspires to be world champion, reflects on his intense professional career: everything that reaching this point means to him, while he considers the existential implications of his lifestyle and whether it’s possible to maintain a sense of honour in a competitive environment. This plays out in a complicated and rare genre: utopian literature. It’s a “psychological” portrait of “what could be” that avoids nihilism, which has become misunderstood and prolonged with time, and likewise the mud of “anti-utopia” and cheap pessimism as an excuse to justify immobility, but retains the difficulty that this sort of literature must embody in order to be of good quality: overcoming simplification, moralism and sanctimoniousness.
