MALA YERBA
One man, three stories. Harry fell in love with Swell. Before that he had been in love with María. Then Harry fell in love with Sabrina. Harry is just one man who lost his wife, his job and his home in a single day. Harry started to sleep in his car. Harry ended in in a psychiatric hospital. Harry hit rock bottom, but he survived. Thanks to his sense of self-worth and an unwavering commitment to the truth. Harry would never say loving words without meaning them. He would never pretend friendship, he would never hide behind excuses or hypocrisy. After his downsward spiral and internment, he will only be able to fall in love with women at the end of their rope like he is. Three love stories in which love takes on a new dimension: the abyss in its entirety. Three love stories which only Harry could have survived. '... I've realised I'm better off without you than with you. He doesn't forget that sentence. He wears it like a spray of bullet holes across his forehead.'
