Ricard Moja, the president of a prestigious cultural institution's foundation, embezzles a significant amount of money for his personal use. Recommended by him, the artist Res Benito is preparing a large mural about the orgasm—which, according to him, is the origin of song—for the Liceu opera house. Three hairdressers provide him with the hair he will need for his artwork. Meanwhile, Rubén Montesinos, who works with homeless people, is tasked with searching for Lídia Moja, Ricard’s sister, who disappeared in India more than thirty years ago. Thus begins a story you won't be able to stop reading, built like a set of interlocking gears that move the world, turn it upside down, and make the poor rich and the rich a little less wealthy. A novel with no heroes or villains, blending comedy and drama, where everyone feels driven to change and, if possible, to improve.
