But it is also, I believe, a message in a bottle cast into the sea of the past. --Lydiette CarriónOn the day of her wedding, Carmen leaves Dionisio standing at the altar.He manages to recover thanks to his passion for cooking, which eventually allows him to open a bustling restaurant called Armablanca.However, years later, amid the 1968 student movement, Carmen reappears unexpectedly and asks her former lover to hide her husband, a well-known writer being persecuted for political reasons.Thus begins a tight interweaving of the individual and society, delving into the shifting sands of love, lies, and betrayal.Humor, tragedy, and cooking are the ingredients of this literary dish that confronts us with the great dilemmas of the human condition.
