Locked away in a cell at a criminal asylum, Anna retraces her life through the way she has cared for her nails: from the bitten-down nails of her childhood to those tended by the man who first taught her to look at herself without hatred; from the red-painted nails with which she learned to seduce and command, to the claws behind which she has hidden her pain.
With lucid madness, she reconstructs the path that led her to destroy the only person who ever tried to save her, in an intense and poetic tale about the need for love, obsession, and the wounds that no one can hide forever.
The Nails
A woman locked away. A shattered mind. A memory that cuts deep.
