SUMMARY

The protagonist, unnamed, is a girl that comes from a normal family that takes pride on her achievements and encourages her to obtain her independence by means of studying a career and developing it in other countries: she is set free.

In her freedom she feels lonely because of the circumstances: isolated with her boyfriend in a foreign country and separated from her family starts to seek manners of keeping her calm (masturbating, eating). She will return and start a research that will dynamite her health because of the pressure, so the spiral of desperation drives her to an overdose of depressants and to bulimia soon after.

Then, she tries to manage her life by posing in erotic photography, a too rough field for her that she gets accustomed progressively by internalizing a needed passiveness.

When it seems like she is going to fall down, she finds her way into a normal job in the economic world and learns about the power of sexual suggestion to climb up positions. She experiences the fall of the Berlin Wall in the pit but loses (or leaves) the job at the moment Robert arrives to her life.

Robert uses her, makes of her a lover to him, but does not leave her wife, regardless of the love that the protagonist feels for him.

Finally, when the relationship is broken, she returns to the house of her childhood, to her mother, to be protected from herself and the solitude.
