Finalist for the 2024 Literature Slope Award.

On the Helbronner crossing, two mountaineers ―Ana and Emeterio― suffer an accident and fall into a crevasse in the glacier. After the rescue, he remains unconscious and she realizes that she suffers from a gap in her memory that covers the last ten years, in everyday topics such as news or technology, but also in any event related to the mountains.

In the reconstruction of her memories, she has the support of a doctor who assesses the extent of the aftermath, and the interaction with Alexia, a virtual assistant on the phone who accompanies her in the hardest moments of the accident. As a result of these conversations, Ana’s blank mind will restore ― and novelize ― the reality of the peaks to offer it to her companion on his return from his lethargy. With irony and naivety, and the mountain as a setting, Ana faces the everyday situations of a couple: flirtation, confidences, projects or infidelity, but she also reflects on our critical capacity in the face of overcrowding at the peaks, their commodification or their deterioration. The time of reflection allows the protagonist to remove the superfluous layers of all the information that technology provides her, to arrive at fundamental questions such as: what is the mountain for each of us and how do we want to preserve it?
