The world is a region that can be traversed in a few weeks, beyond which reality is disturbed. Abe Kaledon, a young scientist, researches this strange strip, but his theory about the nature of the border upsets the delicate balance of power in the province. In the capital, the tensions between workers and managers, people and membrane come to a head: Abe's discovery and the expedition of the mysterious industrialist Gustavo Omerigo unleash secrets that can no longer be hidden.
In her new novel, Judit Lőrinczy, the author of Ingókövek, takes you from a city fraught with social tensions to a realm where the laws of reality no longer apply.
