Eight narratives almost entirely featuring women, daughters of pop culture, who live under their crowns of an "existential literary and musical narrative" and yearn for fascination. For these women, some young and some not so young, photography, music, song, art and beauty are not things that bring them levels of pleaseure, but a way of being and understanding the world. The characters in these stories live in a permanent state of exaltation, stimulated by art: a journalist who must confess to her daughter the identity of her father; a photographer who is suddenly reminded of the importance of a childhood friend, an artist who has become a cultural promoter, a homeless ex-designer, a PhD student writing her thesis on pop culture. These and other ways of saving yourself from the dream-killing everyday of the artist experience.
