Josephine Perkins wakes up one morning and finds herself in bed with a stranger. She thinks that her dream betrays her, that perhaps she has consumed something that produces strange hallucinations.

Produktbeschreibung
Josephine Perkins wakes up one morning and finds herself in bed with a stranger. She thinks that her dream betrays her, that perhaps she has consumed something that produces strange hallucinations. However, she feels the heat of that body and the flow of her breath. For a moment she thinks that this is not her house and she is the one who has slept in a stranger's bed. But, when he gets up, she sees that she behaves as if they had known each other forever. Josephine, unable to understand what is happening, strives to reconstruct her past. She remembers that she grew up in Maine, under the care of a superstitious and conflicted mother. Her father abandoned them to share his life with an actor in Tangier, a city where, years later, father and daughter meet again. Because it is precisely there, in Tangier, where Josephine lives with Abraham in the present. However, she feels that something is not right. The places she remembers no longer exist: the Galleries Lafayette, the Alcázar cinema and that couturier who repaired her clothes are now closed; The Consulate where her father worked is a museum; The Spanish Hospital where she went is abandoned... As Josephine puts her memories in order, past and present realities intermingle and contradict each other. What's wrong with her? What is the problem? Is it maybe amnesia?
