Warning to strokers: This story has some sexual content, but it is limited and slow to develop.
An American astronomer, working at the ALMA observatory and searching for the origins of the universe, finds himself drawn to a Chilean archaeologist who is studying the ancient petroglyphs left by the desert's first inhabitants.

Set in Chile's Atacama Desert.
