Ramon del Valle Inclan wrote this novel in 1902. He suspected that all the horrors of this world could be found in human soul and that love, pain, passion and perversion are intimately connected in a delicate game of contrasts.

Sonata de Otoño takes place in Spain around 1830.

It was a guerrilla wars age when women were always at home watching the rain behind the windows.

Two lovers that were in love in their youth separated.

Since then, their lives remained reduced to wait and desire.

When the Marquis of Bradomin goes back, it is too late.

A sick woman and her valet wait behind the windows of Brandaso palace.

The lady feels she's dying and she must choose between religious redemption or sin. Her soul becomes fragile, transparent.

The most beautiful love is the lost one.

The Marquis find in beauty the sense of his perdition.

Three marionettes the Marquis, the lady and her valet- find themselves doing again and again the same wrong ritual, minute after minute, century after century, trapped in time and in action by the puppeteers that persist in going on with the script and in performing what they have previously agreed...
The Marquis in his memoirs-performed by Mr. Javier Villafañe- decides which will be the images to remember.

"Amazing Sonata. Poetic, cruel, sensual and modern. Tremendous beauty."
