Over fifteen stories, Lucía Etxebarria paints a picture of relationships, always from women's point of view, with impertinence, a certain rawness and realism. These are not true stories but stories inspired by real events experienced by the author or related by friends. The male machismo is not spared, the picture painted of the relations between men and women is uncompromising but never free and always borrowing humanity and tenderness.
