The starting point for this novel is a real person: one of the most powerful men in the world, who became the hottest topic of conversation on news reports, TV debates and among gossips around the world after he was arrested as he flew speedily back to his own country, accused of having raped a black migrant worker in the room of a luxurious New York hotel.
In summer 2011, Pol Bársac climbs off the balcony and escapes from the police; they want to arrest him for sabotage during the Indignants demonstrations. Due to a strange physical phenomenon, Pol is transported to another dimension, to a fantastic universe full of magnificent castellated cities, wondrous creatures and leafy forests, which seems oddly familiar.
