Synopsis: The story unfolds from the point of view of an intelligent child, but with a somewhat dark and distorted personality. Daughter of parents now separated, Cayetana is alone and under the care of her employers. After returning from a long journey, her mother, Ines, shares some unexpected news: she is pregnant. The fragile world of Cayetana crumbles. She locks herself in her room and solemnly declares that the day of her brother’s birth will be the day of her death. Only her imagination and the emergence of the national heroes sprung from their textbooks can save her from an increasingly alienated environment in a country on the verge of collapse.
