"And yet, if it vanished, I would [still] be Tomás with the knowledge of this gentle loving night, and all of the hot falcon nights and all of the gentle mornings and the Gaudí afternoons, and I would not give this up for anything, anything."

        Can the fantastical designs of Spanish-American architect Tomás ever be built? Everyone laughs at the thought until Tomás meets Hassad, a self-made Moroccan, part-time drug “exporter” and the most beautiful man Tomás has ever met, who offers him unconditional support and love. A supposed straight man until then, Tomás succumbs to Hassad’s charisma to the point that he must decide whether to come out, both creatively and sexually. Hassad, in turn, faces the challenge of learning to make a commitment.

        Set in the late1970s, a mentoring and loving relationship builds around this unlikely couple, but it is eventually devastated by Hassad’s sister, Kenitra, Tomás’ insecurities and a little Moroccan magic. Can their relationship survive this?

        Intelligent, sexy and humorous, this tale includes lovable, slightly offbeat characters and an unconventional plot set in exotic Barcelona, Marrakesh, Tangier and New York.
