After agreeing to be interviewed by journalists, Prétextat Tach, Nobel Prize winner for literature, who has been living in seclusion for several years, terminally ill from cancer, is found dead, murdered. The police discovers during the investigation strange things about the writer's past. Is it enough to suspect Nina, a young journalist and the last person to have seen Prétextat Tach alive? Nina spent a great deal of time researching the past of the Nobel Prize, especially his first love affair with a woman named Leopoldine, who disappeared without leaving a trace.
