The Rhinoceros Collector

This twist of fate allows him to devote himself to his true passion: travel, cultural exploration, and his curious hobby of collecting rhinoceros figurines.

Through his journey-at times hesitant, at others determined-Abel becomes entangled in an odyssey marked by love, betrayal, joy, and solitude, as he strives to bring an ambitious project to life.
