Irene leaves Madrid after Marcelo's disappearance and drives across the Mediterranean in a convertible, from Cinecittà to Sète, between luxury and solitude. At each stop she evokes her beloved through lovers, until love turns into a thriller and the search becomes a reflection on time, memory and immortality, with Cervantes, Lou Reed and Fellini in the background.

For readers of contemporary fiction and translated Spanish literature, with an interest in intimate stories about travel, grief and memory.
