In 'La larga noche', Carmen Amoraga immerses us in a story of carnality and mixed feelings. Set in the early 20th century, the novel follows the Tavares brothers, Catalan filmmakers, as they film pornographic films commissioned by a mysterious gentleman for a high authority of the State. In this filming, the lives of Candela la China, a famous prostitute, Oriol Mora, a dandy with dubious inclinations, and Bruno Bonet, a misanthropic camera operator, intersect. As the production progresses, the characters discover that behind the apparent sexual freedom lies a deep unhappiness, seeking, despite everything, happiness in their lives.
