Julieta is a fourteen-year-old girl searching for the meaning of her life in 1960s Mexico, amid rock music and feminist movements, the sexual revolution, and the student rebellion against the PRI dictatorship. Clara, her mother, is a charismatic psychologist fighting for women's rights, the daughter of Spanish exiles who survived the anti-republican persecution of Franco's dictatorship. Her father, Fernando, is a good man, heir to a lineage of powerful military figures, who lives in constant conflict between his love for his rebellious wife and daughter and the questioning of his conservative family. Everything changes when Julieta accompanies her mother to the marches of October 2, 1968, and the one that culminates on October 10, 1971, known as El Halconazo.
The protagonist becomes witness to the clandestine meetings of brave social activists in Latin America who not only confront an oppressive, racist, and undemocratic system, but also the sexist structures of the student and leftist movements to which they belong. Throughout these pages, we accompany Julieta on an intimate journey spanning a decade of revelations in which she discovers the power of love, sex, identity, death, and the political power of rebellion and friendship.
