Gradually contradictions and absurdities take place and the boundaries between reality and supernatural, sleep and vigil, past and present will become more blur. Comala is inhabited by a community where Pedro Páramo, is at the center, hated by all, as Comala has progressively assumed the traits of his character. But it has been long since Pedro Páramo is dead and that Comala died with him. In a text with an extremely visual language and characters of imminent theatricality, the scenes are drawn by fragments and each fragment is a viewpoint that ingeniously mixes the real, the imaginary and the supernatural, in a work of absolute magical realism.
