About the book
Durante la dictadura militar argentina, un activista político y un homosexual comparten la celda de una cárcel bonaerense. Para paliar la soledad y el continuo miedo a la tortura, ambos presos conversan largamente. Mientras el activista político rememora su pasado y fantasea sobre su futuro, el homosexual se aferra a una realidad diferente, romántica y soñadora.
