Barcelona, 1901. In a city marked by social unrest and the contrast between poverty and the opulence of Modernism, Dalmau Sala, the son of an anarchist and a young painter, finds himself caught between two worlds. While his family and his beloved Emma fight for workers' rights, his work in the ceramics workshop of a conservative bourgeois immerses him in an environment of wealth and creativity. Dalmau must choose his own path, confronting his values and the search for his essence as an artist in a turbulent era.

Through an exciting plot, the author recreates a Barcelona that transitions from gray sobriety toward a bright future, capturing in its pages the class struggle and the architectural transformation of a city seeking its own identity.
