JOSE BUILDS A WOMAN is a camel gallop through one of the most outrageous love stories ever told. The multi-layered saga revolves around a sensual outcast, Tortugina, the queen of bad love and Gabito, a jealous octopus diver. Tortugina’s pursuit of a forbidden dream endangers everything: her life, Gabito’s life, the life of her husband and her son, Jose, a boy obsessed with marrying a nun. Against all odds, through murder and extraordinary sexual encounters, Tortugina never abandons her dream.
