　　An epic mosaic of lonely people with crossed destinies who will set their sights on Arthur Morhan, a psychoanalyst on the verge of a breakdown.

暑假将至，十岁的格洛丽亚陪同身为护士的母亲安东尼娅去医院上班。格洛丽亚对医院早已熟悉，经常独自探索。有一天，她遇到了同样十岁的索菲亚。索菲亚来医院是因为她的祖母：比萨·弗朗西斯卡，一位患有阿尔茨海默症的精神治疗师，因家中发生意外而住院。索菲亚和母亲西蒙娜对比萨的下一步安排意见不一。西蒙娜坚持认为她应该暂时留在医院；索菲亚则渴望将祖母送回乡下的家中。格洛丽亚和索菲亚梦想着离开医院，而她们的母亲——都是单亲妈妈，则与她们建立了信任和相互支持的纽带。死亡与重生的循环对格洛丽亚、索菲亚、安东尼娅和西蒙娜来说意义深远。当比萨即将离世时，安东尼娅负责她的临终关怀。在乡下，他们发现一个社区正在等待比萨，准备为流浪的灵魂祈祷，以便他们能够继续前行。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
