Synopsis

A gallerist returns to Bogotá from Amsterdam. A woman reshapes her entire body chasing a perfection that doesn’t exist. An old man falls in love in Marseille. Someone wanders through Prague with no idea what they’re looking for. An aspiring filmmaker tries to seduce through a short film. Some kids in Bosa see the world with wide-open eyes for the first time. And on 51st Street, a single night of partying becomes the excuse for everything to fall apart.

A collection of short stories where characters shift without pause, caught between puberties that never end and adulthoods that never arrive. Partying on 51st blends tenderness with cruelty and eroticism with the absurd, in a Bogotá that stretches all the way to Prague, Marseille and Bosa.
