Young Martí Rocamora travels to Rome in the summer of 1987 to write a novel about Beatrice Cenci, a Renaissance aristocrat who became a tragic symbol of female beauty, desire, and rebellion against power. During his research, Martí meets a couple who introduce him to a life of passion without rules. Seduced by the eccentricity of his new friends and dazzled by the bohemian lifestyle of palace parties, he begins to discover his feverish need to be loved. This brings out fears, secrets, and guilt that force him to rethink his journey. Will he be able to finish his literary project, or will he return home with broken dreams? Pablo Álvarez explores in this beautiful coming-of-age novel the longings of a generation destined to be free, which suddenly realized that, in the skin of time, the past always leaves scars.
