Descriere
When nineteen-year-old Simone Paris followed her art instructor/ lover Otto Guest to Mexico, she had no idea of the impact the decision will have on the formation of her personal identity. When Otto reappears, six years later, Simone is confronted with forgotten relics from her past and feelings long-since buried.
