"Radiante, luminoso. El desierto es un prisma de perros, cardos, polvo y cielo. La China Iron acompaña a Liz, una inglesa que va tras su marido llevado por la leva. Ella, en cambio, no busca a Martín Fierro, ese gaucho que se la ganó en un partido de truco. La China escapa. Y es su viaje exploración: de la textura de la seda, del sabor del té, del sofoco en que estalla el sexo. Descubre palabras. Sonidos nuevos para cosas que antes no existían" --
