When you’re thirty, love is everything, while treachery inevitably opens a door into the void. Doll – the nickname she has chosen because she hates her name – spends her time daydreaming, and spying on the life of her neighbours across the road, to fill the void in her own. The girl is fragile and lacks self-esteem. Her relationship with her mother has always been complicated.
But after an unexpected trip to Copenhagen, everything changes in the space of a few weeks, and Doll witnesses the total upheaval of her own life and that of many other people. She discovers a past that will unravel knots in her current life, badly in need of a change. Why Copenhagen? Who is the man she meets there? Emotions, passions, and revelations will finally lead her to a safe harbour, dispelling all her doubts.
