In a room in Formentera, a man speaks softly throughout the night to a sleeping, naked young woman. She is Umiko, a Japanese woman who teaches meditation and believes in the power of spiritual healing. Umiko is ill with cancer and defies conventional medicine, convinced that the emotions that made her sick can also heal her. The man, full of doubts about Umiko's methods, will talk to her about the disease, spontaneous remissions, the world of self-help, personal growth, and meditation. Umiko will ask to consummate the night with an act that goes beyond words. Winner of the 2009 Josep Pla Award.
