A heart so white begins as, in the middle of a family lunch teresa, just married, goes to the bathroom, unbuttons her blouse and shoots herself in the heart. What made her kill herself immediately after her honeymoon? Years later, this mystery fascinates the young newlywed juan, whose father was married to teresa before he married juan's mother.
