Synopsis

A Literary Frenzy Between Séance, Satire, and Revolution

We live in the age of the double mass. Two factions, defined less by their own convictions than by their hostility toward the other. Conformists versus non-conformists—an endless cycle of reaction, long since factored into the playbook of those in power. But what they didn’t see coming? The secret circle of Madame Watson.

A glamorous drag queen ahead of her time, surrounded by some of the most influential minds of the 1920s—jazz enthusiasts, Prohibition rebels, and visionaries with grand ideas about democracy.

The setting: a neo-Gothic mansion atop Nob Hill, San Francisco. The occasion: a séance that is far more than just a dalliance with the supernatural. At stake is the lost book Hypnoses, a legendary text rumored to hold the key to breaking humanity’s collective trance. The guests? Industrial magnates, wealthy heirs, and close confidants of Sigmund Freud. The host? Madame Watson—femme fatale, medium, and mastermind of a subversive elite.

Just as the spiritual message threatens to break through, chaos erupts outside. A riled-up crowd lays siege to the mansion, ready to storm the salon. Inside? Improvisation. The séance morphs into an impromptu mythological dissection. On the operating table: the fairy tale of the sleeping princess. But what emerges is no romantic fable—it’s a razor-sharp deconstruction of the modern world. And as the distinguished guests debate the revelations, two corpses surface inside a wooden trunk. Who put them there? And why must the rich carry them by the feet while the poor must carry them by the head?

Unfortunately, the investigating lieutenant doesn’t stay sober long enough to bring order to the madness—too tempting are the cocktails and the company of a woman of questionable repute. Prohibition be damned.

As the mob outside gathers strength, an eerie chamber play unfolds within—dark humor, sinister elegance, and poetry so hauntingly beautiful it unnerves. Hypnoses is no longer just a book; it has become a symbol of a deeper truth: without a new approach to profundity, every form of community is doomed to collapse. Modernity may see further than tradition—but only because tradition carries it on its shoulders.

And so, as this literary séance draws to a close, the question is no longer just what is real and what is delusion. More pressing is the realization that sometimes, laughter is the only response to a world teetering between hypnosis and awakening.

A thrilling read? No—a literary manifesto with revolutionary potential.

Inclusive ten songs by Hugo Ramírez.
