The Hermit's Workshop

The heart is the hermit's workshop where love makes its silent desires, its languid sighs, its sweet and secret sorrows and hides them under its wings, says the poet Matthias Claudius. And it is true, because the heart is nest, memory, dreams, it is the flame that ignites life. This is how Olivia, a young woman who, after receiving a heart transplant, begins to experience the world in such an intense and unknown way that leads her to the roots of her new host, Andrea's heart. This journey into herself will also take her through the hot land of Guerrero, the home of her donor, where violence and injustice, but also love and tenderness, will allow her to reconcile the heartbeats that flutter like birds in her chest. For the first time she felt her own that red, beating heart, cut from someone, sewn into her, taking root as it opened, showing her stars, constellations and galaxies; letting her see the universe that was in it.
