In the city of Henoc, built in the desert to house ex-offenders and illegal immigrants, Augustine, curator of the library, is involved in a way that leads him to confront the authorities. Matthew, his teacher at the orphanage where he grew up, belongs to a religious sect that believes in the existence of a translator who can decipher the communication between humans and God. This involves finding Augustine as the next disciple who shall maintain a dialogue with the divine. Poet and storyteller Marta Lopez Luaces reveals her own anxiety about the deepest human conflicts in this book."
