Seven days to travel the path of perfection. Seven stairs that lead to the origin of Art. Seven circles of hell that Dante must cross. Seven days for Luisa before the Rimbaud Award deadline. Seven infernal days to seek her doubts, her struggles, her price, her dreams, her madness, Art itself. Seven days to write a poem forged from fragments of her own misery, blood of her own blood. Seven steps along the road from Hell to thus take wing and reach the crown of creation.—EL DESIERTO PRODUCCIONES

Luisa is a young poet with a dilemma -whether to follow the official line orrisk an avant-garde path. Temptation appears in the form of the Rimbaud Award, a prestigious prize for young poets. To win it would mean recognition as the brilliant new name in Spanish poetry. Enrique, her friend and publisher, suggests she write a realist, human poem appealing to the tasteof the members of the jury. But Luisa prefers a cold, hermetic approach. She has become interested in the poetry of experience, identifying with poets and artists who bordered the abyss in their life and work, like Van Gogh, Artaud, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Kafka - During the seven days prior to the deadline of the Award, Luisa seeks purification,CATHARSIS, by attempting to eliminate all those educational, family and social ties that adversely affect her poetry. But this is a difficult path that can be really dangerous and to create her perfect poem, Luisa will enter her own, personal hell.—EL DESIERTO PRODUCCIONES
