Un viajante, vendedor de lencer a, espera ansioso al volante la reaparici n del hijo huido y recibe la milagrosa ayuda de un h roe del rock. El misterio de la luz de un cuadro, La lechera de Vermeer, devuelve a un escritor al regazo de la madre. Un joven cuenta su historia de amor despu s de fallecer en un atraco frustrado. Un m sico de saxo encuentra el don de la m sica en la mirada de una muchacha. Una amistad fraternal entre un escolar y un maestro anarquista, que nace de la mutua curiosidad por la vida de los animales, es destrozada por la brutalidad de 1936. Qu me quieres, amor? Re ne diecis is relatos donde emergen la ternura y el humor como los mejores amuletos y reductos de humanidad, historias escritas con la sensaci n de quien roza con los dedos las v sceras y la piel del mundo, entre las que se encuentra La lengua de las mariposas .
