My laptop has all my life in it and knows more about me than anyone else. So what I am saying is that if it is broken, so am I . . .'' Two women arrive in a village on the Spanish coast. Rose is suffering from a strange illness and the doctors are mystified. Her daughter Sofia has brought her here to find a cure with the infamous and controversial Dr Gomez - a man of questionable methods and motives.
