California

A teacher remembers how he made his way to the United States in the early summer of 1992, just after his divorce, intending to travel by car to the University of Berkeley where he was to teach and where he had planned to write a book about the great American landscape painters of the XIX century. However, things twisted with the appearance of the mysterious and erratic poet Tom Dunkel, who will join the trip.

Unforeseen situations and landscapes, fundamental doubts, fear ... In a lifeless village of Nevada, the teacher will meet Gary Atwood, a former activist in the struggle for civil rights, his interesting wife Jill and Amy, a real estate agent who does not talk about his past.
