Over the past seven years, Syrians have settled in new cities. During that time, they began a journey in search of their old cities. They settled in new homes, lived and resided in them for short periods, walked on new sidewalks, or rediscovered old sidewalks, then redefined them and discovered them in new cities and headquarters. They tried to invent Damascus, Daraa, Homs, Latakia, Their Tartous, Masyaf, and Deir ez-Zor were in new cities, and they tried to draw new maps for themselves in them, and they reinvented the city between Cairo, Beirut, Istanbul, Berlin, Paris, and other cities.

In his exile there, the poet lives as an observer and participant in the great changes taking place in Chile, and through small meetings and discussions about love, poetry and politics, a special relationship is established between him and the young postman who is immersed in love and enchanted by Neruda’s poetry, which he sees as his right because poetry does not belong to its writer but to those who need it. .
Through charming details of the human relations in a small village between the poet steeped in politics and the postman in love steeped in poetry, Scarmeta recounts the great political changes that took place in Chile and the rise and fall of revolutionary dreams.
