Plot

The story chronicles the hardships and ultimate demise of Raúl Salas, a progressive labor union leader, and his companion Muñoz, an intellectual, in the city of Córdoba. Taking place between 1973 and 1976, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Argentina's transition from dictatorship to democracy following the election of President Héctor J. Cámpora. However, their hopes for a better future are shattered when a military coup takes place, resulting in the oppressive regime known as the National Reorganization Process, which lasted from 1976 to 1983.
