It is the last year of the 20th century, young Dominican David Ferrer, narrator and main character of the novel, is going through an existential crisis (work and career) in Barcelona where he has gone to supposedly study advertising. However, he spends a lot of time walking around the city streets, watching the passersby and experiencing strange episodes of delirium and hallucination while trying to write a novel of which he has only written a few lines. When the day ends, he takes refuge in his apartment, an oasis of videogames and pop culture which he shares with his roommate Origami. David never suspects how the meeting with an old friend from Santo Domingo will force him to reconsider his lifestyle and determine what is real and what is a product of his imagination.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>BIOGRAPHY.
