On a beach in Mallorca, several characters seek happiness: Sibila, a former Parisian model, in love; Archibald, her sceptical intellectual husband, in God; Daniel el Monegro, her lover, in wealth; and Asunción Molino, a bitter schoolteacher, in a failed vocation. The author uses counterpoint to portray that struggling society.
