Doctor Umberto Umberman is not only a fervent supporter of homeopathy but also an amateur adapter of classic works for cinema; he is not just an arrogant and gullible intellectual, but also a true glutton, who, as a genuine spiritual person, decides to offer himself a vacation in the most isolated spa of the moment.

Thus, he finds himself in a deserted resort in the company of other eccentrics. It isn't long before a windstorm breaks out, cutting them off from the rest of the world. Crime follows. Everyone is a potential suspect.

A perfect setting and a game between suspense and humor, in the classic detective novel and its parody, by two masters of the fantastic, who, along with Borges, breathed life into Argentine literature.
