SYNOPSIS
Lourdes and Lana met telepathically using “sensory pills,” a technology that allows access to other people’s sensations from a distance. After months of relationship, Lourdes decides to visit the country house of her parents, Vicente and Carl, and introduce them to her girlfriend. An unforeseen storm changes their weekend plans, locking them at home and, faced with the news of a child missing in the storm, Lana begins to question the limits of her telepathy. My Senses Are All I Have to Offer is a story about family and expectations, class difference and psychological isolation, in the tone of a subtle science fiction.
