Xibalbá, place of disappearances, of fading away, of the dead

                        Legends of Guatemala by Miguel Ángel Asturias

 

1932: the days of airmail are dwindling.

Eddie and André, two fast friends and young hotheads, roam from bar to bar, recalling their country and vanished companions...

But one morning Eddie’s heart stops after a night with his mistress Paloma. With his friend’s body in tow, André sets out for Eddie’s native Texas. But fate strikes yet again, and the plane crashes in the jungle. The survivors are taken in by a tribe of Indians who lead them to a young woman: Helen Robinson, who has withdrawn from civilization with her butler. Helen’s familiar face opens old wounds for André, who soon discovers the magic of this place the Indians call Xibalbá. There, the ghosts of vanished loved ones reappear, plunging André into painful memories from his past.
