La ciudad de las luces muertas

Shortly after the war, a girl in Barcelona unwittingly causes a blackout of both the sun and every lamp, lasting a day. In the gloom, the city's eras pile on top of one another: demolished buildings return, future ones appear, and dead writers and artists walk the streets again. Picasso reduces Simone Weil to tears, Orwell guards Montserrat Caballé from wartime bombs. With a photographer whose pictures show what has yet to happen, they try to understand the darkness and how to end it.
