Daniel, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, is full of personality, and he actually made an acceptance speech like "winning the Nobel Prize in Literature is the end of his writing career" at the award ceremony.
After rejecting numerous invitations to events, he decided to return to his native town of Salas, Argentina. That was where he had escaped for over twenty years.
Upon his return to his hometown, he was treated like a national hero and awarded the "Outstanding Citizen of Salas" medal. In fact, many things are not as good as they seem. Daniel was invited to the TV station, and after answering a few non-painful questions, the TV station just used his fame to advertise a drink; he was invited to judge a painting competition, but the selected works were not the town leaders The works that they thought "should" have won, and thus offended Romero, the president of the local visual arts association; he met his childhood friend Antonio, but the latter had been worried about Daniel and his wife, who was also Daniel's first love, Irene. Burning; Daniel gave three speeches, each with fewer people, and was even scolded by Romero as a traitor in the second speech, making fun of his works for slandering his hometown.
So, Antonio invited him to dinner just to declare to him his "sovereignty" over Irene at the dinner table; the final result of the painting competition was not what Daniel had hoped, and the winning works were the mayor and cultural Works that the Minister thinks "should" be awarded but have no artistic value, simply because their authors are all related.
At the drawing competition awards ceremony, Daniel can't bear the result and clashes with Romero again. He said he rejected hypocrisy and handed over the "Distinguished Citizen" medal. He became the enemy of the town, and even nearly died at the gunpoint of Antonio's daughter's boyfriend, Roque. After returning to Barcelona, Daniel, who had not written for five years, used his own experience to write "Outstanding Citizen".
There is a lyric that says "the place you can't go back is called hometown". This sentence couldn't be more appropriate for Daniel. Maybe his hometown only has feelings for him, and the people and things in his hometown have already drifted away from him.
