La cama is a story that gives a voice to reveal the secrets held by beds. If your bed could speak, what stories would it tell?

They are a direct witness of who we are, or who we wish to be. Who would give their bed a voice? Surely nobody in his or her right mind. What secrets are held by motel beds, that of a teenager, a newly divorcée, that of your neighbors?
