Aleksy, a painter going through a creative block, follows his psychiatrist's advice and returns in memory to the last summer he spent with his mother, many years earlier, in a French holiday village. The memory brings back the resentment, sadness and anger of that time: his sister's disappearance, a mother who rejected him and the illness already consuming her.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
