Tristan realizes he's neighbors with the legendary horror director Abel Urueta, who invites him and Montserrat for dinner at his house. Tristan barely gets roles to play ads while Montserrat is losing gigs to younger generations, even though she's the best at her work. Now he is an emotional trainwreck, waiting for the anniversary of his ex-girlfriend's death, doing voice-over jobs, having short flings, and trying to adjust to his new life in his small one-bedroom apartment.īoth Tristan and Montserrat deal with financial problems. A car accident ended the life of his girlfriend/screen partner, his reputation, and his appearance. His star was rising when he starred in a soap opera until a tragedy took away everything he had worked for. His cowardice prevents him from confronting his true feelings. When he realizes things are emotionally complicated, he just runs away. Tristan is also not the perfect hero to save the girl and ride off into the sunset with her.
She has her own vulnerabilities: she loves her car, her job, and she still has unrequited feelings for Tristan, her childhood best friend. She never cares about her appearance, takes fewer showers, forgets to have a proper haircut, and only wears Rock group theme t-shirts and long socks with big holes. She can fight her own battles, finding her way in a competitive movie sector among her male rivals. The tough, fearless, stubborn, loner, badass, and perfectionist sound editor, Montserrat, is not a traditional heroine and absolutely not a damsel in distress. If you're a fan of horror movies, interested in the dynamics that make a movie whole, or a member of the industry like me, this story is so accurate that you may become addicted to it. This dark, heart-pounding, and riveting supernatural horror story, blending occultism, horror movie anthologies, Nazism, Aryan race, and mysticism, may be the best novel created by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
