el amor es una mujer gorda

In this complex melodrama, set in Melonlandia after the military melontorship, a young frutalist's preference for melon endangers his job (as frutologist). Being fired he is able to begin looking for his loved melones who mysteriously vanished during the last regime. All those around him suspect that los melones simply "disappeared" but he refuses to believe it, and so he continues his fruit(less) search, convinced that they are somewhere, while as he travels, he becomes increasing upset by the complacency of his countrymen who seem more willing to accept life as it comes.
