Reseña del editor:
"Tell us about your romance, Elizabeth, who's the man you love? Who's the man who loves you?" These questions, typically from reporters, are fired at Elizabeth as she jets into Barcelona. "I'm so excited about the Olympic film I'll be doing next," she counters with American bravado. "That's my new romance."
Indeed, at thirty-something Elizabeth is blond, beautiful, and fresh off an Academy Award for her first film. Now, slated to co-produce a film of the '92 Olympics with Spain's well-known but still new Studio Goya y Ximinez, she returns triumphant to Barcelona ... a city she knows too well.
Here, along narrow cobbled streets, under red-tiled roofs and filigreed, flowered balconies, Elizabeth spent her youth. Here, she was Bethy, the exquisite ballerina worshipped by lithe Spanish dancers and brave bullfighters alike. Yet Bethy's pursuit of artistry and passion - and love - would be prematurely shattered by private demons she could not allay.
Elizabeth has put Bethy to rest - or so she thinks. In glamorous apartamentos, in chic nightspots, aboard luxurious yachts, Elizabeth holds her own with the rich and famous as she navigates the treacherous waters of studio chicanery.
In her heart, however, Elizabeth is certain that she will always be alone; especially here where every street cafe, every castanet click, every strum of a flamenco guitar brings Bethy alive. Ironic, is it not, that in sophisticated, seductive Barcelona - capital of Bethy's youthful, doomed dreams - solitary Elizabeth would meet the one man who really loves her.
