A story about the son of the pharmacist and the daughter of the fodder store owner; about a Leonese town where the mines have closed, the power plant is about to be demolished, and the future is nonexistent. A story about hopeless people who eat bricks. And also a love story –tune-ups and sleepovers in the gas station parking lot, sex in the ruins of the hermitage, experiments with roosters and rooster testicles… And, above all, a story about someone who tells stories to seduce, manipulate, and cajole.
