Original title (ES): Rotacismo (Rhotacism)

Ricardo Ruales Eguiguren, like his father, lives with Treacher Collins syndrome. This genetically transmitted facial condition altered his appearance and prevented him from pronouncing the letter “r” for years, which plunged him into silence. At home, however, almost nothing was talked about. Not the family illness, nor his homosexuality.

Editor's note: Rhotacism is a vocal sound change that some languages use to modify vocal sounds that English language speakers know as "R", "Z", "D", "L" or "N". For example, turning an English "R" into a tongue-trilled "R".
