Koan

You know the sound of two hands clapping.
Tell me, what is the sound of one hand?
– Hakuin Ekaku

Though S. Abbey of Santa María Miraria stands in the middle of Madrid, the monastery predates the city by centuries. Or millennia, depending on how you count. The place has always been known for miracles, and even today you'll find a smattering of abandoned eyeglasses and crutches on the front step. Maybe that's why María Teresa attends Mass there—because she's praying for a miracle of her own.

María Teresa, the teenage daughter of a machista business mogul, has had a troublesome life despite her family's wealth. Her biggest source of strife is that she's been arranged to marry Guillermo, the son of another wealthy businessman. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't already have feelings for Álvaro, one of her oldest friends. And when María Teresa becomes pregnant, things become even more complicated.

Koan is the story of a young girl, a monk and the miracles that wait around every corner.
