In a small town in northern Chile, the arrival of strange characters disrupts the tranquility of the place. The story focuses on two women: Albina, an amnesiac white giantess whose sensuality transforms men into a pack of hounds, and La Jaiba, a woman with a mustache and a hump. United by a magical destiny, they interact with other unusual characters. Jodorowsky's prose, with illustrations by François Boucq, creates a cinematic narrative that blurs the line between the everyday and the wonderful. A novel of mutations where white precedes death and engenders rebirth.

Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky is a Chilean and French avant-garde filmmaker. Known for his films El Topo (1970), The Holy Mountain (1973) and Santa Sangre (1989), Jodorowsky has been "venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts" for his work which "is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation".
