Description
Nathan lives in a world of glass. Since childhood, he's been mesmerised by its beauty and fragility. Now, in his middle age, he's respected as a collector and connoisseur. At his gallery and in his home, he surrounds himself with superb craftsmanship, elegant design, fine music. His daily existence is the only work of art he has ever created. Apart from his regular visits to the cottage, his life is peaceful and serene. Then he sees Rosalyn. And lightning shatters his world.
Love and jealousy; power and greed; art and civilisation. How easily they break apart.
