A group of colleagues from Bomba Agency — seven adults, a child, and a cat — retreat to a countryside house to escape the grip of the city suffocated by the hottest summer in the past two centuries. Officially, it is a week of collective work to prepare an important presentation, but isolation soon reveals more: each of them carries ambitions, anxieties, vulnerabilities, and desires that the sweltering heat only intensifies. The forced coexistence brings out tensions and fragile bonds, while in the background looms a broader crisis — the relationship between human beings and the planet. This choral novel thus becomes a portrait of a suspended humanity, striving to imagine an uncertain future, poised between personal relationships on the verge of breaking and a world that seems increasingly fragile.
