The boxes can contain from manuscripts, discs, letters or books to messages dedicated to the future. Some have an expected opening date (such as cultural time capsules), while others will remain closed indefinitely. In all cases, what is stored is much more than an object: It is a footprinta gesture of trust towards new generations.
With your contribution, Charly Garcia adds to a list that already integrates names such as Mario Vargas Llosa, Joaquín Sabina, Ana María Matute and Joan Manuel Serrat.
