Plot summary
editThe protagonist of the novel recounts his life story, which oscillates between Chile and California. He begins by describing his early years spent in California and uses the movies he watched during that time to paint a picture of his life. However, he is forced to abruptly return to Chile during his early teens, where he must now live under the regime of Augusto Pinochet, which proves to be a major cultural shock for him.
