Storyline
Pablo is being pursued by what seems like a mob of fans. However, the truth soon emerges that his assailants are actually the cast of characters from his books who are angry that he won’t continue to write their lives. When Laura, a former student, turns up on Pablo’s doorstep soon after with plans for romance, the two fall into a passionate love affair. But when she starts showing signs of paranoia, Pablo questions whether she may in fact be one of his literary creations.
