Gonçalo de Morais

Gaspard, a teenager from the suburbs of Lisbon, falls into the hands of the Ogre, a man who has made a pact with the Devil. The Ogre uses the boy to attract tourists, whom he transforms into animals and then kills. Gaspard escapes with a donkey and a dog that he has grown fond of, and in an enchanted manor, he meets the spirit of Queen D. Maria I.

In an alternate world where assisted death is expected, private clinics profit off dignity. Maria Eugénia awaits her procedure, but it might not go as she expected.
