✦ Synopsis
'Something of Kafka, something of Lynch, something of Auster' Diario de León
Jonás Ager is disappearing: a recent separation has left him aimless, his once promising photography career has ground to a halt, and his assignments at the newspaper are drying up. And an ever-deepening mystery is threatening to engulf him.
