3.600 Seconds (3.600 segons)

Rosa, a waitress and artists’ model, accepts a job as irresistible as it is unsettling: becoming a living sculpture for an anonymous artist who only touches her in complete darkness. What begins as an artistic project soon turns into an addiction that consumes her life. An intense novel of disturbing, addictive eroticism.

An offer impossible to refuse: to be a “living sculpture” for an anonymous client for €1,000 an hour. That mysterious proposal is what draws Rosa, a waitress and artists’ model, into a game that will become a disturbing and addictive experience.

From the very first session—naked, covered in clay, and submerged in absolute darkness—invisible hands roam her body, coated in mud, for exactly 3,600 seconds. What was meant to be a simple artistic commission turns into a ritual that disarms her: silence, touch, and clay lead her to a liminal state between trance, submission, and pure desire. Each session leaves her waiting with more longing than the last.

Outside the industrial warehouse, Rosa remains immersed in a chaotic life: empty sex with a businessman from the pub where she works, fleeting lovers, and the affection of her roommate. Even Insel, a gentle, attentive American with whom she begins to build a relationship that seems to go beyond the body, is eclipsed by the sensory intensity of the faceless sculptor. Nothing competes with the promise of those anonymous hands shaping her like clay.

The sessions progress and become more intimate, almost ceremonial. In the darkness, the sculptor traces every fold, every muscle, every breath. Rosa can no longer tell whether she is posing, obeying, or surrendering. The boundary between art and obsession breaks: what began as a job becomes her sole emotional center. When the contract ends and the hands disappear from her life, the silence left behind tears her apart. Her body remembers what it no longer has. Her mind collapses.

In the midst of her downfall, and after a suicide attempt, it is Insel who rescues her from the abyss, offering an unexpectedly luminous night. But he too disappears. And the revelation explodes when Rosa learns through the press that Insel has committed suicide—and that he was, in fact, an American artist who was losing his sight. The anonymous sculptor. The man who, obsessed with her since seeing her at the academy, wanted to engrave her memory through touch before going blind forever.

In the end, Rosa understands that her body was shaped, yes—but so was her identity. That that month in the darkness was a journey of brutal transformation where eroticism, dependence, and loss fused into an irreversible work: herself, reshaped forever.
