ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After being discharged, Aurelio is hired by the colony to care for four patients: Kiki, who can only say "ham"; Miguel, who has a habit of undressing anywhere; an elderly man who never speaks and whom no one visits; and Paco, who only wants to sing ranchera songs and talk about his beautiful girlfriend. Aurelio keeps a diary as part of his psychiatric treatment, and it is thanks to what he writes day after day that we get to know "the larvae," as he calls them. One day, Aurelio finds out that there will be a fair in the village and manages, with lies, to convince Dr. Quesada to let them go out, as his mission is to introduce "the larvae" to the pleasures of the body by taking them to the brothel he regularly visits. That same night, three of them get lost. With Kiki as his only companion, our protagonist embarks on an adventure to find the three missing boys and bring them all back to the colony. With humor, affection and great tenderness, Ver nica Langer constructs a universe where innocence frames the possibility of discovering the power of friendship, love and redemption.
