Overview
«Hiromi Kawakami: las cosas sencillas son melancólicas. Bellamente melancólicas, como el sol que derrite la nieve, sin dejar huella de ella». — Héctor Abad Faciolince
Después de casarse con su amor de infancia, Riko se encuentra atrapada en una relación amargada por la infidelidad. Un día, por casualidad, se encuentra con un viejo amigo, el señor Takaoka, que le ofrece amistad, amor y una extraña evasión: vivir una vida paralela en sus sueños. Así, cada noche vive otra vida: primero, como una cortesana de alto rango del siglo XVII, y, después, como la sirvienta de una princesa en la Edad Media tardía. Mientras experimenta el deseo y el desengaño en el pasado, Riko reconsidera su vida como una mujer del siglo XXI, como esposa, madrey amante, y se pregunta a sí misma si, después de amar a su marido y al señor Takaoka, está preparada para su tercer gran amor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Having married her childhood sweetheart, Riko now finds herself trapped in a relationship that has been soured by infidelity. One day, by chance, she runs into her old friend Mr. Takaoka, who offers friendship, love, and an unusual escape: he teaches her the trick of living inside her dreams. And so, each night, she sinks into another life: first as a high-ranking courtesan in the 17th century, and then as a serving lady to a princess in the late Middle Ages. As she experiences desire and heartbreak in the past, so Riko comes to reconsider her life as a 21st century woman, as a wife, as a mother, and as a lover, and to ask herself whether, after loving her husband and loving Mr. Takaoka, she is now ready for her third great love.
