SYNOPSIS When her mother dies, Blanca has just turned forty. To escape her grief, she finds refuge in sex with lovers, ex-husbands, and any other casual liaison that will make her forget, if only for a while, that her mother is dead. Unable to put her adult life as an 'orphan' in the city in order, and almost as an escape, Blanca decides to travel to her mother's house in the small fishing village of Cadaqués.
