Sevilla, 1982. A young woman arrives in the city, seeking refuge with a local family who are forced to leave their home due to gang violence.
The protagonist becomes entangled with the heroine, an addiction that spirals out of control, revealing the harsh realities of the struggle for survival and the devastating consequences of heroin's arrival in the city. This is a brutal and unflinching portrayal of a generation's struggles, set against the backdrop of gang wars, revenge, and crime.
Through the eyes of the protagonist, Mansilla sheds light on this dark era, combining raw honesty with unexpected tenderness. A deeply personal understanding of addiction shines through, offering a profound insight into the lives of those affected by heroin's devastating impact.
