Lives Entwined or Linked Lives: A Decision, A Secret, A Destiny Remade

​Is it possible to flee from a destiny already written on your skin?

​Synopsis:

It all begins with a flight toward hope. In 1986, at a clinic in La Guaira, Ismael is born under the sign of tragedy and anonymity. Rescued by a couple who chooses to hide his origin to give him a future of privilege, the boy grows up to become Ismael Contreras: a man of success, principles, and a seemingly perfect family.

​But while Ismael builds his life on foundations of love and silk, the "Seeds of Destiny" are sown in the harshest corners of Caracas. Marta, a woman marked by the price of survival, raises her son in the shadows, nourishing him with a single certainty: a silver bracelet engraved with two names that represents his true place in the world.

​What you will find in this work:

​Parallel Lives: A narrative that explores the absolute contrast between opulence and want, proving that no matter how far we run, invisible bonds always catch up to us.

​The Weight of Truth: The moment Ismael's glass bubble bursts upon meeting the gaze of a child selling candy on a corner, discovering his identity is an incomplete puzzle.

​Redemption and Healing: More than a story of betrayal, it is a journey toward forgiveness, where characters learn that family is the refuge we choose to build when the truth comes to light.

​About the work:

Lives Entwined or Linked Lives is a deep exploration of the human heart. Through its pages, Juan Carlos Farias Salazar invites us to believe in the power of unexpected encounters and our capacity to heal even the oldest wounds.

​"The past is not a sentence, but the map that finally guides us toward ourselves".
