Carlota grows up in the family home, the Casa de Albarca, a magnificent residence with a lush, deep, and mysterious garden, a few hours' drive from Palma de Mallorca. Raised by her grandfather and his second wife, Carlota is also surrounded by the ghosts of her grandmother Sofia and her mother Elisa, two women of rare beauty, both having passed away prematurely. In her desire to understand them and symbolically mark her lineage with them, will Carlota go so far as to replicate her grandmother's forbidden passion for the troubling Ramon, the property's gardener, and her mother's even more intense affair with the same Ramon? Filled with a trembling sensuality, The House of Women is the moving story of a fantasized yet fusion-like relationship between three women, transcending absence and death, through the grace of the same man, a "conduit of love" between generations.
