Dutch, Spanish, Catalan,

Laura has nine fingers and a secret passion for inventing other people's lives from the photos that complete the personnel files of the company she works for.

She and her sister, Moira, grew up in a family environment linked to the anti-Franco opposition in Barcelona in the last years of the dictatorship, a turbulent period that marked forever many lives. Their parents wanted to educate them in absolute honesty and freedom, and among other things they decided that their daughters would grow up without photographs, teaching them instead to fix vivid memories in their minds, "memory photos".

When she turned thirty-four, Laura began to write a retrospective diary, a material support to record those memory photos that her father taught her to take before the passage of time could degrade them. But as she progresses through her journal, the possibility that those memories are just unconnected pieces of a blurry past becomes more and more present.

The day Moira shows her sister a photograph of two little girls that could be the two of them, Laura begins a trip back in time that will not only provide her with surprising answers about herself and her family, but will help her glimpse and understand the deep nature of her own being.

The girl with nine fingers is a story with an atmosphere between realistic and fantastic, which creates intrigue through the search of the main character, her notebook and her memories.
