Ernesto Durán is convinced that he is ill, even though clinical results indicate otherwise. Since his separation and solitude, he has been experiencing symptoms that he fears are deadly. His obsession leads him to seek the help of Dr. Andrés Miranda, who in turn faces a personal tragedy: the diagnosis of his father's terminal cancer. While Durán needs to talk about his suffering, Dr. Miranda takes refuge in silence, unable to reveal the truth to his own father. This novel explores the experience of illness in two people in opposite situations: the doctor who knows life and death but cannot speak, and the patient who only knows that his anguish prevents him from living. Alberto Barrera Tyszka presents us with a reflection on the fragility of existence and the search for health through the literary word.
