Since Helena walked out, Félix has been using his startling likeness to Dónovan, the crooner every woman swoons over, to pose as the star in Madrid's bars and clubs. Then he meets Luz. His story weaves through those of other people in the city, sometimes lyrical and sometimes funny, about missing love, shared desire, and how much of what we take to be ourselves is made of fantasy.
