Anja Santiago has died at home, and through the cordon at her door there is nothing to see but dust, a pale blue carpet and an empty room. Nobody has missed her; letters pile up for someone who is gone. Her story follows a woman who moved through life almost unnoticed and who never cared much for other people, herself least of all, while her body waits in the cold of an air conditioner for someone to ask after her.
