Overview

Con una de las muchas dictaduras de América Latina de fondo, esta obra narra al mismo tiempo los ritos de paso de un adolescente venezolano que vive aún de lo mitológico (James Dean, Natalie Wood, las motos, los prostíbulos, las primeras borracheras, el mar en verano) y la tortura a la que es sometido su padre, un militar progresista.
