On a train leaving home, Rafa sees the lit-up mountains and perfect trees--and the Olympic Hotel waiting for her. There, she and 8 other girls receive the stiff black uniforms of seasonal workers and move into their shared dorm. But while they toil constantly to perform their role and prepare the hotel for guests, none arrive. Instead, they contort themselves daily to the expectations of their strict, matronly bosses without clear purpose. And then, one of the girls disappears. What follows are deeper revelations about the myths we teach young women, what we raise them to expect from the world, and whether a gentler, more beautiful life is possible.
