A writer and his partner attend a party on the outskirts of Lima. They both drink, eat, dance and have fun while the night slowly moves towards dawn. Suddenly, his cell phone rings. The call that no parent wants to receive: a friend of her daughter tells her that she has suffered an accident in a nightclub and she is hospitalized. Thus begins a road trip that will mark the hectic pace of the story. Thirty kilometers at midnight that activates a second trip: the journey through the memory of a man in a state of nerves whose memories become an existential means of transport. As his car moves towards the capital, the reader enters the life of a character who is portrayed in the various facets of him -son, boyfriend, husband, lover, friend, father.

Once again, Gustavo Rodríguez displays in Thirty Kilometers at Midnight his prowess for the fictional assembly, as well as his ability to weave a plot in which his characters show us, with humor and without complexes, the chiaroscuro of his inner world.
