Violeta nasce in una notte tempestosa del 1920, prima femmina dopo cinque turbolenti maschi. Fin dal principio la sua vita è segnata da avvenimenti straordinari, con l’eco della Grande guerra ancora forte e il virus dell’influenza spagnola che sbarca sulle coste del Cile quasi nel momento esatto della sua nascita. Grazie alla previdenza del padre, la famiglia esce indenne da questa crisi solo per affrontarne un’altra quando la Grande depressione compromette l’elegante stile di vita urbano che Violeta aveva conosciuto fino ad allora.

Love, be it wild or tender, often defies logic. In fact, at times, the only rationale behind the instant connection of two souls is plain magic. Bibiña Aranda, runaway bride, wakes up in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao still wearing her wedding dress, draped in the loving arms of a naked man whose name she doesn’t know. She and the man with no clothes, Indar Zubieta, attempt to explain to the authorities how they got there. It’s a story of love at first sight and experience beyond compare, one that involves a dreamlike journey through the museum.
