Manuel Roca and his two sons live in the countryside, on an old isolated farm. When that old Mercedes arrives and he sees the four men getting out, he reacts as if he had been waiting for that moment all his life, and calls his sons without losing a second. What happens next changes all their lives irreversibly, especially that of little Nina.

A vibrant and evocative story that delves into the depths of the human soul, with war as a backdrop. It explores universal themes such as trauma, revenge, and forgiveness through a short but intense plot. A brief yet profound book, distinguished by its lyrical and evocative prose, leaving a lasting impression. It moves the reader and inspires reflection. It contains explicit violence (a massacre), alongside positive aspects such as the possibility of forgiveness and ending cycles of violence.

It briefly describes the abuse of a minor and includes a sensual passage. The themes addressed —truth, forgiveness, suffering, and redemption— are explored from a purely human perspective.
