En este nuevo reto literario, Soledad Puertolas ahonda en un universo que siempre le ha interesado: la emocion, la pasion que nos mueve a los seres humanos, el anhelo de encontrar algo que de sentido a todo, la lucha contra la amargura y el fracaso, la sed de belleza, la ilusion del amor. / Esteban, a young man who survives a car accident, decides he should begin to look at life in a different way. He breaks all ties to his previous life and he goes to live alone in a different neighbourhood. In this new context, the rehabilitation centre where he goes everyday is his main concern. His new neighbours include a family made up by Dayana, an older woman who used to be an actress, singer and artists' model, Eugenio, her husband, and their daughter Violeta. And there's Teresa, a frequent visitor to the rehabilitation centre, who bursts into his life. Esteban observes broken lives, wasted lives that still yearn to remake themselves. In this new literary challenge, Soledad Puértolas dives into a universe that has always interested her: emotion, the passion that moves human beings, the desire to find what gives everything its meaning, the battle against bitterness and failure, the thirst for beauty and the illusions of love.
