Synopsis: All stories, Either individual or collective, are made up of secrets, lies and uncertain truths. Pablo Tomás, the heir, lives his life as a detached observer, unable to fix his objectives. Her grandmother’s death takes him to Isclacerta, the family’s mansion built by his grand-grandfather, who made his fortune as a businessman and trader in South America.
There, the young man will see himself immersed in his ancestors’ past and will get to understand that he is part of a chain.
The interrogation about identity, the discovery of a past time loaded with dark stories, a doll’s house that acts as a fragile border between reality and fiction and the two sides of the Atlantic are the pillars on which the author constructs this moving family saga, that breaks the traditional conventions of the genre.
