La revolución socialista sudamericana más significativa de nuestros tiempos, es contada desde varios puntos de vista, con humor e intimismo. El peligro de la utopía, cuando se apodera de los corazones y las mentes, termina por incendiarlo todo. Sus personajes nos llevan entre apagones, hambruna y violencia, por el camino del poder, la destrucción, la búsqueda de la libertad individual, y el absurdo de perderse en la ideología.
