About ‘After Five’
Ivana lives a seemingly ordinary routine in the peaceful Province of Rosedario, known for its rare pink-stemmed roses. However, she is no ordinary teenager.
At six in the afternoon, Ivana disappears, only returning at five in the morning the next day. Launched by Buzz Editora, “After Five” narrates the young woman’s struggle to keep her secret, until she meets Dario, who faces a similar but opposite condition: he disappears when she appears.
The only ones who know Ivana’s mystery, besides her mother, are her childhood friends, Una and Ivo, who help her maintain a reclusive routine. At 16 years old, Ivana spends her days at school or in her studio, where she paints.
On a trip to the lake, she loses track of time and ends up dissipating into the open air, at which point she sees Dario, a semi-transparent boy with freckles that highlight his black skin. The connection between them is instantaneous, and a passion arises.
However, they soon realize that their relationship is problematic, as they cannot touch each other. The couple has only a few minutes of daily interaction, during the moments when their forms become translucent. Determined to fight for love, they set out in search of answers to overcome the obstacles imposed by destiny.
During this journey, they discover that the inhabitants of the province keep dark secrets. The city, like a rose, is beautiful, but full of thorns.
