Spanish term or phrase: desencuentro
Bonjour,
Comment traduisez-vous ce mot?

Voici la phrase:
El desencuentro, la desilusión y la rendición arrastran a los personajes a un oscuro submundo frecuentado por la timba (juego), la droga, la prostitución y el asesinato.

J'ai ma petite idée mais j'aimerais votre avis.

  -> je pense que ce terme précise le mot "désaccord" (traduction littérale de "desencuentro" dans le dico) qui est plus vague. Les dissensions sont des divergences d'idées, des oppostions ; c'est ce qui me semble le mieux coller au contexte. A débattre!
