Since the day he joined the Llevant school as a new art history teacher, Pau Gispert's life as he has understood it up until now has been a mess. In the fierce struggle for a succession of power  at the school direction, Pau sees his ideas about beauty, love and his own identity being demolished. In his revolutionary mind, the colors and faces of a Rubik's cube are set in motion, becoming more complicated with each move and leading him inexorably to confront himself in a game of sexual identities.

After the success of La pregària del Diable, Jordi Cabré surprises readers with a very different novel, which speaks of traumatic changes, ambition and envy, the art of beauty and that closet where you go in and out.
