This is a novel about four artists from an unlucky generation who, having lost their dreams and ideals, find themselves confined to a garage where one fine day a strange creature appears and proposes a sinister pact. This is a novel about the life of a Finnish writer in love with Spain called Folke Ingo, who turns out to be the author of the adventures of the four aforementioned guys. This is a novel about a motley group of characters who, in the footnotes, chime in and comment on Folke Ingo's text: his Spanish translator, his Finnish mother, a bureaucratic professor from the Ministry of Humanities, the parents of one of the artists locked in the garage, the president of the Club of Friends of Gregorio Morán and the ex-director of a peculiar film club in Santa Coloma de Gramenet.
