Don Horacio, a rich, cultured, misanthropic, agoraphobe, lives in a grand house by the sea, looked after by a housekeeper who says she has a qiant squid in her locket. She may well have as he is visited by a padre and a doctor, the latter telling him of baby universes for sale. Things do not end well. Atmospheric but opaque. ( )
