Some stories must be invented to tell how it was. A man leaves everything behind. With little more than a hammock and a few notebooks in his luggage, he boards a train heading south. Chance brings him to Cabo de Gata, a fishing village on the Mediterranean coast. The landscape is desolate, a cold wind blows: not a place to stay. Yet he remains, a lonely guest in the old widow's guesthouse. The only creature he connects with is a cat. And suddenly he believes he understands that she wants to communicate something to him.
