A young photographer gets in touch with a writer twenty years her senior to take her portrait while she writes her next novel, entitled Seduction. After exchanging a few emails, the writer invites the photographer to spend a few days at her home, a small country house on the Catalan coast. As she arrives, nothing is as she had expected, her host is distant and won't let her take pictures. Given her rejection, the photographer will take those shots in her mind, feeding both her anxiety and her desire. This bizarre interaction in a house that seems laid out for pleasure, will become tense with the arrival of Greta, a friend of the writer with whom she seems to share an intimacy with fuzzy boundaries. After becoming one of the greatest revelations in Spanish literature with What It Is, Sara Torres returns with a novel about distancing and sexual fantasies, a story about the sway that images have over desire, and the healing power of tenderness.
