Description
In the midst of a reality attack, a city descends into chaos. Desiderio, an employee, finds himself entangled in a web of madness, crime, and sexual excess. His quest for love and connection becomes increasingly surreal, as he navigates a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. Desiderio's search for Albertina, a woman made of glass, takes him on a journey through a landscape of cannibals, centaurs, and acrobats. As the city teeters on the brink of collapse, Desiderio must confront the warping of time and space to be with her. This dazzling tale of magic and sex is a quest for truth, love, and identity. Angela Carter's The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman is a satirical exploration of the human experience, where the lines between reality and fantasy are constantly tested.
