Immerse yourself in an ambitious psychological intrigue with gothic touches, set in the prosperous Barcelona of the early 20th century. In this story, we will explore the darkest corners of the human soul, the atrocities that can be committed by beings tormented by revenge and hatred. Barcelona, 1916. Frederic Mayol, at twenty-seven, has left behind a comfortable life in the splendid Vienna and his traumatic participation in the war. As a psychiatrist and follower of psychoanalytic theories, he faces his future position in a sanatorium near Barcelona, a perfect place to overcome the horrors experienced at the front. However, the clinic and its surroundings are not as idyllic as they seem. The shadows of a sinister past loom over the angels that adorn the facade of the building, reliving events from seven years ago, when the place was a prestigious boarding school for young women from good families that closed after a tragic fire. Caught between the desire to reveal the mystery and the love for Blanca, a former student, Frederic will have to face a perverse story of obsessions and revenge to reach a surprising and devastating revelation.
