At the age of 16, Remedios escapes from Cadenas, her island, where she led a dull life that ultimately condemned her to the pains of existence, both mental and physical. From the discovery of her body and a masturbatory sexuality that probes the boundaries between pain and life, she will invent love and loneliness. She then crosses the gates of time to build in her head everything that can save her: a banned library, a ship, and the long journey. She travels the world looking for a place to die in peace. When she finds it, she is 40 years old and on another island, called Eternity, where she discovers something even better, a place to live.
